People are starting to think about strawberries and so it is time to write this to all of you. We are not offering pick-your-own strawberries this year.

Over the past 5 years we have experienced weather extremes on both ends of the spectrum from extreme drought to standing water in the fields. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to drastically scale back our strawberry fields. We reduced the size of our plantings and will not be offering pick-your-own this season.

However, there will be limited opportunities for pop-up pre-picked sales. When the berries are ripe, our staff will pick them and we will post on Facebook when berries will be available at the Appleshed. We are not able to take orders for berries and all berries will be available on a first-come; first serve basis.

We anticipate our strawberries ripening later in June.

It has been our pleasure to have served you for over 20 years. We are sad to move on from one of our favorite summer traditions and we will miss you.

If pick-your-own is what your heart desires, check out the Minnesota Grown Directory for options in our region. There are some delightful patches out there.

I’m still feeling the magic of our first Orchard Table - June Edition. ❤️ Grateful for all who shared our morning with us. And the team who pulled it all together. Thank you. 😎

Believe it or not, it was thirty-six years ago today, June 1, when we purchased the 71-acre farm that became Pleasant Valley Orchard. We planted our first few trees in 1990, but our first major planting was in 1991. Those are the trees on the hillside beside the barn and on the way to the nature trail.

Today our children are adults and we’re working a second-generation farm with the passing of the growing management to our son, Sam.

The vision we had in 1990 has remained constant, to be a place for friends and family to gather, to foster community and to grow high quality fruit. You’re not going to find a lot of bells and whistles here, but we hope you find a place that is friendly, inviting and worthy of becoming a tradition.
