Transitioning from Strawberries to Pumpkins

 


OPEN Wednesday, June 18, 8AM - 4PM
Closed Thursday, June 19
OPEN Friday, June 20, 7AM - 7PM

Important Farm Updates: For the next two days, we'll be transitioning from strawberry season and getting prepared for pumpkin season. On Wednesday, we're opening up the main deer fence area to share what's left of the end of season bounty. You may pick anything within the main fenced area for FREE. That's strawberries, sunflowers, and vegetables. You may get as much as you'd like! You're welcome to bring your own bags, boxes & buckets. *Harvest all you'd like, but please do not uproot any plants (other than onions) because we'll be using these same beds to grow our pumpkins and want to minimize damage to the beds.

The other areas of our farm (bouquet garden and greenhouses will be closed on Wednesday & Thursday). On Friday, June 20 we'll be re-opening our farm, 7AM - 7PM, for cut flowers and summer produce. 😊

The strawberries are surprisingly plentiful at the moment! Come on out and grab you a few baskets of sweet, juicy berries for your Graduation & Father's Day celebrations!

Our u-pick string beans are located towards the right side of our bouquet garden. They are tender and absolutely delicious! My favorite way to eat them is with a bit of goat cheese sprinkled on top. PS - kids are more likely to eat vegetables they pick themselves :-)

Flowers for grads & dads! For your grill this weekend, grab some zucchini, yellow squash, onions & stuff those jalapeños & bell peppers!

SALE on Tuesday: Pick a basket of strawberries, get 5 FREE yellow squash or zucchini! There are 61 rows of strawberries. The first 15 or so rows were well picked today. However, on rows 20-40ish, the pickin' is the best it's been in several weeks, especially the farther down the row you start picking. The rows are labeled with numbers.

Great Onion Harvest! We harvested several hundred onions today, as they've reached full maturity. We have red, white, and yellow onions on sale now 99 cents/lb.

Lots of folks came to pick string beans today, plus okra, peppers & cucumbers!

With the weather warming up, we shifted our normal hours up an hour for those who are able/interested in picking in the morning.
