U-pick July 3


We will open for u-pick berries tomorrow Monday July 3, 2023 starting at 7 am for the second to last picking for this year. We plan to only be open for an hour or so tomorrow morning and pick the areas that have a reasonable amount of ripe berries. After that the market will be closed for the rest of Monday. The stand will be open on Tuesday July 4th. I just returned from a stroll through the strawberry fields. The berries are mostly small and I judge that there are more berries that will be ready for Wednesday than there are for Monday. Some of the earliest areas are near finished. There are still some green berries yet on the later kinds. The patch will go to gleaning status after Wednesday. Gleaning status goes on as long as there are berries out there and is open anytime during normal stand hours. Prices are reduced for gleaning.
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 and Saturday starting @ 10 am.
Cucumbers and zucchini are becoming abundant so those prices will drop to normal summer prices starting now. Daniel
