U-pick July 1st


We will open for u-pick berries tomorrow Saturday July 1 2023 starting at 7 am. We are coming toward the late part of strawberry season. The berries are ripening fast now but they are mostly small so containers fill slowly this year. Some of the earliest areas are near finished. There are still some green berries yet on the later kinds. I expect the patch will go to gleaning status at some point next week- probably after next Wednesday.
The early red raspberries are ready to pick. They are available on a first come basis during normal strawberry u-pick times. After strawberry season the raspberries will be available for u-pick on a first come basis on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday starting @ 10 am.
We have both snap (edible pod) and shell peas now along with the first new potatoes. Zucchini and cucumbers are abundant. Today we planted about an acre of late potatoes (by hand) along with late beans, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach and more. Yes, the strawberry patches are open even if it is raining. Daniel
