Hi everyone, Just checking in. Wow, this has been a crazy spring. Between the massive temperature changes and this whole virus thing, I miss normal. Though, I guess, maybe crazy weather is actually normal for Ohio these days. Things started out really warm, the trees started to get going, then…WHAM…majorly cold. Now that we’re warming […]

Hi everyone, The big news for us this past week was that we made USA Today’s list of 10 Great Pick-your-own Farms Across the USA! We were so excited!! Most of the other places were bigger farms right outside of large cities, so I felt that added to the honor of being chosen. I’m really […]

Hi everyone, After a very cold April starting all our crops off about two weeks behind normal, the very hot May caught us back up.

Hi everyone, The weather finally broke today to be a little more fall-like. It’s been miserable picking (or being outside in general) this last week. I’m sooo happy for some 60s and low 70s! The heat has kept us ahead of schedule on harvest. The positive (at least for me) is that harvest will be […]
