Thanks!
We have run out of blackberries. We are going to be closed Friday and Saturday, August 5th and 6th. Red raspberries are coming in fast and so are tomatoes ... But I can't give an exact date right now. I'll post as soon as I know ... I'm thinking it will be Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.
Thanks for your patience,
Brian

Thanks!
Looks like solid rain for the next several hours in Markham. We are going to close up for the day and then be open Saturday and Sunday from 9 till 2 each day.
Hi there folks! Still lots of blackberries to pick. It looks like this will be their last week. And if anybody is in the mood for a blackberry-peach cobbler, the timing is perfect. Uncle Bill is in the middle of peach season here at the orchard. The blackberries, squash and zucchini will be open for pick your own Wednesday thru Saturday from 9am till 2pm every day.
For peach picking details, please give Hartland orchard a call and check out the message. They should be open from 9 to 5 all week but always give a call before heading out.
Thanks!
Red raspberries and tomatoes are coming up quickly ... We will know more in about a week.
Hi there folks! Thanks for coming out in this heat this weekend. The blackberries continue to be amazing this year. Squash and zucchini are starting to come in. Tomatoes and red raspberries are still a couple weeks away.
We will be closed this Monday and Tuesday to mow and work on the patches and then open back up on Wednesday and thru the weekend.
For peach picking info please call Hartland orchard.
Sunday, July 24th, we will be open from 9 am till 12 noon with pick your own blackberries and frozen ground beef. We also have the beginnings of yellow squash and zucchini. I think it's just to hot to go past noon tomorrow.
As far as I know there are no peach orchards open in the area.
Thanks!
Still in blackberry picking heaven.
Wednesday, July 20th thru at least Saturday (and probably Sunday as well) we will be open from the usual 9a till 2p with tons of PYO blackberries! We will also have frozen ground beef from the herd here and jams and jellies. And there's still a few blueberries to find.
The farm will be closed this Monday and Tuesday (July 18th and 19th) to let the blackberries ripen up.
It's a banner year for berries. Right now we have so many blackberries that tomorrow you can pick your own or get pre-picked. We'll be open Saturday and Sunday from 9 am till 2 pm.
We will also have ground beef from the farm both days. There are also still a few blueberries and black raspberries to pick.
For peach picking info, please call Hartland Orchard. 🍑

We will be open from 9am till 2pm with PYO blueberries, blackberries and black raspberries. We have an incredible amount of blueberries.

OPEN: THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
Once again ... A seemingly infinite amount of blackberries, black raspberries, and blueberries. We will be open for sure this Wednesday thru Saturday from 9am till 2pm every day. That's starting June 29th. Picking is awesome.
As ever, berries are $5/pint, or $4/pint for 6 or more. Containers are provided and there's no entry fee or reservations required. We accept cash, checks and all major credit cards. Friendly dogs are welcome on a leash. Right now it takes about thirty seconds to pick a point of blackberries lol.
Thanks!
Hi there folks, sorry for the delay. We will be closed this Tuesday and open back up Wednesday thru Saturday with PYO blueberries, black raspberries, and blackberries. I'll post pictures and picking conditions tomorrow.
Hi there folks! Big day today in the berry patch. Sunday, June 26th, we will be open from 9am till 2pm again. We still have lots of blueberries and a moderate amount of blackberries. The black raspberries need a couple of days to ripen up.

Hi there again folks! With this beautiful weather and amazing apple crop we couldn't help but open up our pumpkin patch and pick some tomatoes and peppers. We will be open from 11 am till 5 pm this Saturday and Sunday with an awesome assortment of pumpkins and winter squash along with veggies. Uncle Bill has apples for picking and mom and dad have the farm market open. Hope to see you!
OPEN 9 TILL 2 MONDAY THRU SATURDAY Hi there ... Here's a little video of the tomato patch tonight. Trying to give you an idea of the amount of ripe tomatoes we have ... It's a LOT!! We will be open every day this week from 9 am till 2 pm. These are Mountain Fresh and Celebrities - excellent for slicing and canning. Tomatoes are $1.99 a pound for less than ten pounds and $1 per pound if you pick ten pounds or more.
Hey there folks ... A short video of mom and dad (Hank and Cheryll) planting Christmas trees here the other day! I hope all of you are staying safe during this strange time. Many of you who come to pick are nurses and doctors and clerks and we send you our thanks and best wishes. Sadly, we will not have a strawberry season this year. Part of the reason is the pandemic, part of it is the rains of 2018/19 which took out a good portion of the field. We will be planting fifty thousand strawberry plants for next year in a new location with many thousands of tons of uncle Bill's compost and hopefully we can all shake hands and pick berries then. As for this year ... We have what looks to be excellent crops of blueberries, blackberries, black raspberries, red raspberries (both in the summer and in the fall), and we've got thousands of tomatoes and peppers growing in the greenhouse. We are working to set up a safe system for picking and sales. We think that black raspberries, summer red raspberries, and blueberries should all start in June. Stay safe! Brian
Blueberries in a breeze. We have tons (literally) of ripe blueberries AND black raspberries at gate 4. Also there are a few red raspberries and blackberries every day. 540.316.7715.
Thought this was a neat view. We don't fumigate our strawberries which means we get to spend our evenings pulling weeds and finding creative ways to keep the beds dry when it rains! We are open every day right now from 9 to 5. 540.316.7715.
We have acres of ripe tomatoes here now ... pick your own or already picked! For large quantity pricing please call and leave a message. 540.316.7715.
Georgi and Shelly and Lupe planting next year's strawberries today.
