We are open Wednesday 8-1pm for PYO and pre-picked strawberries. Given that the heat remains, we will start at 8 again tomorrow, but stay a bit later until 1pm. Temperatures are going moderate for Thursday and we will retun to the 9-5 schedule then. Picking will be very good again Wednesday. I think the season will run until July 4th. We have started to pick the variety "Valley Sunset" which is our latest variety to ripen in the June strawberry series we currently grow. Important to note is we will be open exclusively at our Locust Road entrance going forwards (including pre-picked berries). The GPS for directions are now set to the Locust Road entrance so you can click on the strawberry icon on the homepage of the website and it will sync to your GPS on the phone and take you to our new site. Directions will be posted on our old shack on Rt 72 as well. Our new field is approx. 1.3 miles from our old fields. Rhubarb will be available when we are open for strawberries.
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!
