Strawberry Festival and U-Pick Patch update

The Strawberry Festival will run Saturday, June 29th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

There will be food, games, tractor rides and fun all around!

If you have signed up to be a _volunteer _or to enter a creation into the “Jam-Off” there has been an email sent out with updated/detailed information last night! If you did not receive and email and you think you should have please let Desiree know via call/text/email. (315) 869-3910 – GreenwoodAcresFarmPotsdam@gmail.com

For the Jam-Off:

We will be putting a bite-sized sample of each Strawberry creation into a labeled small container and placed on a tray with the other entries. The plan is to allow the first 50 people here to “vote” for their favorite by ordering what they like most, second most, and so on. We will tally the votes and the person with the highest ranking recipe will receive a gift card for Martin’s Farmstand totaling $100.

Creations should be delivered to Martin’s Farmstand by Friday 6/28 at 11am. This will give us time to prepare them for voters- they will be kept in the cooler overnight.

U-Pick Strawberries

There will be u-pick this afternoon from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm or until all berries are picked. The rain has overripened some of the berries so pickers may have to work a bit harder as we near the end of peak season. Each vine may have three perfect berries for two that are over-ripened and that means that it may take a little longer to fill a quart than it did a week about but the berries are still pleantiful and delicious. And we look forward to seeing you!
