HoneyBerries did not like the heat or all the water, so the crop is basically a failure. :( Next year we are hoping things will go better. We will have a lot of work to do in the patch this fall, it will hopefully look completely different next year. We expect the raspberries to be ready for U-pick mid August. The prices are listed below.
$4.00 Pint (provided)
$12.00 2-quart container (provided)
If you bring your own bucket, the prices are as follows:
$20.00 4-quart
$24.00 5-quart
$28.00 6-quart
We will have garlic soon. We expect to be harvesting by the end of July, or beginning of August.
24591 County Line Road. We are located 3/4 mile south of Hwy 70, first farm on the right side of the road. During the summer months we harvest from the garden: Green onions, onions, beets, carrots, cantaloupe, watermelon, zucchini, and others. We take our extra vegetables and turn it into a very Yummy Bloody Mary mix, so it's all made with fresh ingrediencies straight from our ground. Just message me if you are looking for anything, I have a selection of Jams and Jellies at the farm and can arrange for on farm sales before we get going to the farmers market. The HoneyCrisp crop is looking great! I've been out spraying garlic every week to keep the pests away from the crop. We plan on stocking the stand at the farm with apples as soon as we can, sometime in September. With the passing of our daughter, Morgan, things have been emotionally difficult to get to the market this season. We are using our garden time as therapy for us and for Morgan's children, teaching them all about what grows in the garden and how to take care of it. We were hoping to be in full production by 2028, but due to a change in our family, that might get pushed back some, we will see where this adventure takes us. Our fruit yields are increasing every year, with apples being our main crop. They should be in full swing by 2028. HoneyBerries (Haskap) are a fun first early summer crop each year, with Raspberries starting in August. We have homemade Jams, Jellies and Shrubs and select juices, all made out of our own fruit, and a few other favorites we cannot grow in NW Wisconsin (Peach). We grow our fruit as sustainable and natural as we can. We NEVER spray for insects, they are an important part of our ecosystem. We do spray garlic on almost all of our fruit crops (not the HoneyBerries), this spray is offensive to the insects we do not want in the garden, so the moths and leaf hoppers and fruit flies go and live elsewhere. We also spray an organic boron and calcium spray. Our land is low in boron, which is important in cell development to make our fruit yummy. If anyone wants any more information on any of our practices, just ask, my degree is in Horticulture with a minor in biology. Together, John and I have been gardening for over 60 years and love to talk about growing fruits and vegetables.
