U-Pick Organic Strawberries

Reservations required.

6/25/25
Our 2025 strawberry season is finished. A string of 95 degree days, followed by heavy rain, ended our berry crop. They are too delicate for that. It was an excellent season right up to the heat and rain. We will be back with organic berries again next year.

NEXT UP …
– We will offer an organic plum tomato u-pick once the crop is ready. This is usually around the Labor Day weekend.
– We will offer pop-up bulk sales of pre-picked organic plum tomatoes, basil, garlic and maybe other crops.
– Join our email list so we will notify you when the tomatoes and pop-up sales are available.
– In the meantime, the Willy Street Coops buy and stock our produce.

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.

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.
