U-Pick Organic Strawberries

We look forward to this year’s strawberry u-picks!

New in 2026:
– We have doubled our fields and will have lots of berries.
– We plan to offer u-picks on both weekdays and weekends.
– We will use a reservation system on the weekends (maybe not on weekdays).  All picking dates (and reservations) are open to the public.
– No pre-picked berries.

You all harvested beautiful berries last year.  Let’s do it again this year. 

Join our email list so we can notify you in June as picking dates open.

FAQs

Reservations will be required for many of the upicks.
It helps us manage the picks calmly.  Read our emails to learn if reservations are required or not on each picking date.  If required, please do not come to the farm without a reservation.

Payment
PAYMENT IS BY CASH OR CHECK.  No credit cards.  No Venmo.

Parking
Park on the north side of our country road (the side toward our farm.)  Please get out and check the ditch before pulling off the road.  Some of the ditches are steep.

Containers
We will provide cardboard flats for picking and taking your berries home.

Accessibility
Our facilities are not handicap accessible.

Your responsibilities
–  Please keep your children with you.  There are a variety of dangers on a farm.
–  Please supervise your children’s berry picking.
–  Come prepared for the weather.  Check the forecast before leaving home.  Wherever you live, it will hotter/colder/wetter/drier here at the farm.
–  We have beehives.  Our beekeeper cautions that you should avoid scented products when you visit, especially ones that resemble flowers or food because those may attract the bees.  Think about your soap, sunscreen etc.
–  Do not bring dogs to the farm.

Can I eat berries in the field?
Feel free to try a few, to learn what ripeness you like.

What do I need to bring?
We provide cardboard containers to pick into, and to take your berries home.  Wear your sunscreen.  Bring water and a hat.  We recommend sensible shoes.  

What do I do once I’ve finished picking?
Bring your cash or checkbook to the field with you.  Once you’re done picking, go to the table at one end of the berry field to pay.  There will probably be a truck near the table.

Lightning and tornados 
It is OK to continue picking if it rains, but everyone must get out of the fields if there is lightning.  You can take shelter in your cars, or in the open shed attached to the big barn.  It is at the end of the barn furthest from the road and the doors will be open.  We do not have shelter from tornados and you will have to use your own judgment.

What are the hours?
As we determine picking dates, we will send emails with the hours and other details.  We set each date’s opening and closing times to match the berries and the weather.

Can I bring food to the fields?
No. For food safety reasons, we cannot allow food in the field.  Strawberries excepted!  Feel free to picnic under the shade trees near the road.

Can I bring dogs to the farm?
No.

Am I going to love the berries?
Yes!
