The Farm was sold this past Fall and will continue as a U-Pick Berry Farm - but, even bigger and better!!

New owners, Todd and Tracy Linbo, are already making improvements, adding food and flower items and expanding the grounds. It will be opening tmrw, May 19th. You will definitely want to follow them at Double T Acres !! Also, check out their website at doubletacres.com

Double T Acres is a pick-your-own berry farm located near Nisswa, MN. Our goal is to create an outdoor experience for friends and family to find joy. Products include: raspberries, blueberries, tart cherries. We also offer fresh asparagus, fresh flowers and much more.

The Farm is now closed for the Season (except for flowers). Thanks to all who came out to pick berries.

Many of you know that I have the Farm up for Sale. I have enjoyed owning and operating the Farm and especially enjoyed meeting new friends along the way. It is now time for me to make my move into retirement. If you or someone you know may be interested in the Farm please have them call my agent, Ken Oaks at 218-820-1682 or check out MLS # 5269616.

Found a yellow lab, male with light blue collar. He wandered into Berry Patch. He was taken to Babinskis.
