We are closed Saturday due to the weather and to allow for berries to ripen up after a good Friday session. We will reopen for PYO strawberries and pre-picked sales on Sunday, Father's day. This is just the beginning of PYO for us. We will be open 9-5 on Sunday or until supply runs out. I assume that the crop will come in full the following week and we will expand hours to 9-5 daily then. We will have some excellent picking on the early varieties and hopefully add new sections on Sunday. Asparagus and rhubarb will be available when we are open for strawberries. Please check in at our stand on Rt 72 to start for both pre-picked and PYO strawberries. This season we have an exciting new development as we will begin picking at a new location on the farm. This expansion will allow us to rotate out of long standing fields into new ground and should help keep our berry business healthy for years to come. For this season we will use a combination of our existing fields and our new site, so keep posted for the details as strawberry season nears.
More details on PYO will follow but to start with, we provide containers for picking. The prices are as follows: $15 for the small container, $20 for the medium, and $55 for the big box which holds approximately 12 pounds. Pre-picked berries are $12 per quart. Please no dogs during PYO season! Children are welcome, but must be under strict adult supervision. As you will see, our plants in our new patch are very big, healthy and loaded with fruit, both green and red. Therefore they are very fragile. Our advise is if you are applying sunscreen and bug spray to do it at home before leaving so you can completely wash it off your hands as to not contaminate the fruit you pick. If you are going to be making other stops after picking or buying berries, bring a cooler for your strawberries and don't leave them in hot cars. Cash or credit accepted for payment. And please check the website or face book page for the latest details before heading out.
See you in the fields!
