OPEN Monday - Thursday, June 2nd - 5th, 9AM - 5PM 😁

 



Our tomatoes are continuing to produce. They aren't red yet, but one of my favorite sides to order at a restaurant is fried green tomatoes! I've never tried to cook it myself. Anybody have a recipe they love & be willing to share?
If you'd like to pick your own green tomatoes, they're growing in two locations: in the smaller greenhouse and just beyond the far back corner of the strawberry patch, to the left. In addition to u-pick, we often we have some available at the cashier's tent for sale, same price either way, $1 ea.

Swing by our farm this week and grab some summer produce & cut flowers to brighten your day. 😊

OPEN Sunday, June 1st, 11AM - 4PM

 



Our farm is open on Sunday, but if you are primarily looking to pick strawberries, you should wait for a different day. The berries were heavily picked today and not currently plentiful at all. However, if you're looking to pick cut flowers, onions, or green tomatoes, it's a great day to visit our farm! 😁

Some of our summer produce is starting to come in. In the past week or so, we've harvested a couple hundred cucumbers, and more will be ripening in the coming days and weeks. They're growing in two locations: in the back half of the smaller greenhouse and just beyond the far back corner of the strawberry patch, to the left. These are pick your own, or often we have some available at the cashier's tent for sale, same price either way, 75 cents each. Fresh & tasty!

U-Pick Availability for Sunday:
Extremely Plentiful: Cut Flowers (lots of Zinnias), Sunflowers (SALE: 50 cents ea), Onions, Green Tomatoes

Significantly Less Plentiful (after a heavy day of picking on Saturday): Cucumbers, Strawberries, Zucchini, and Yellow Squash

Thanks for pickin' us! 😊

OPEN Friday, May 30, 9AM - 5PM; Saturday, May 31st, 9AM - 4PM

 

U-pick: strawberries, sunflowers, cut flowers, zucchini, yellow squash, onions, green tomatoes, and cucumbers.

How long will the berries last? Good question. For the past 4 years, we've had strawberries through the second week of June. We anticipate the same will hold true for this year. Although it takes a bit longer to fill your basket and the berries are smaller this time of the season, the flavor is good. The patch is currently producing about 50-100 baskets per day, which is about 15-20% of the average the patch produced in late April. The pickin' isn't near as good as it was, but there are still hundreds of pounds of fresh fruit available daily coming from 30,000+ plants.

Great day to pick some beautiful flower bouquets! Plus: yellow squash, zucchini, and onions!

The strawberry patched rested for a day in the sun. However, the berries are not plentiful. While the patch will be open for picking on Monday, the quantity of ripe strawberries is extremely low and demand will exceed supply. It will likely be completely picked out of strawberries prior to lunch.

Memorial Day SALE: 2 Bouquets for $20
One, 10 stem bouquet of sunflowers
One bouquet of cut flowers from our Bouquet Garden (as many stems as you can fit in one hand)

Memorial Day will be the LAST day that our greenhouse will be open. Closeout SALE: Everything is just $1 each!

What a beautiful day at Browder's Fresh Pickins! Our sunflowers are in peak production, and the flowers in our Bouquet Garden are so colorful and vibrant!

📸 Shout out to: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Smithfield Ward who came out to pick bouquets together today! And, to my buddy here who came up to the table and told me, "I picked a lot of squash!" 🤗

Our farm will be open on Sunday with plenty of sunflowers, cut flowers, zucchini, yellow squash, and onions. *Because we were totally picked out of strawberries on Saturday, there will not be any berries to pick on Sunday. I doubt we will have berries available on Monday either, but we'll post Sunday night with updated hours of operation and picking conditions for Memorial Day Monday.

Squash SALE on Sunday, May 25th: 3 for $1.
Greenhouse Closeout SALE - Sunday & Monday: Everything in the Greenhouse is $1 per container, regardless of size, while supplies last.

Pro tip: Picking flowers for yourself is barrels of fun. Picking flowers to bring to someone else, even more fun! 🤗
