Strawberry season is a wrap here on the farm and we are now looking forward to having a great blueberry and blackberry season! We have some varieties that are already ripe, but the big bushes ripen fully at the end of May.

God's favor has been shown to us in abundance this month in particular. Dad has fully recovered from a life threatening illness that hospitalized him for 6 days, Danny has recovered from his life changing shoulder surgery and has a wonderful new job working in an office and with hail storms all around, the farm was spared and we are so grateful!

05/17/2024

IT'S OFFICIAL!
Strawberries are done for the season, so the farm will be closed until blueberries ripen. We are hoping to be open again for Memorial Day Weekend...We'll keep you posted!

We will be open tomorrow from 8 to 3 and possibly Wednesday, depending on the amount of customers. Sorry this is so late. Went out to go pick some strawberries for our dinner and was surprised by how many good ones were still on the plants. we are no longer picking off bad berries because we are getting towards the end of our season for strawberriesso keep in mind that you may have to search through the plants a little bit. please keep looking back because we are just a few weeks away from opening up for our main blueberry season always my personal favorite time of year.
