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 […]

There are a lot ripe, so I’m not anticipating too many supply problems in the market; hopefully we’ll be able to keep stocked. We don’t offer peaches for pick your own. Blueberries […]

We got a little damage, but nothing catastrophic. So I figured I’d take the “opportunity” to show what a damaged strawberry blossom looks like. DON’T […]

Happy Spring, everyone!! Yes, it seems to finally be here. I figured a good place to start with our brand new website would be a quick update with some pictures of how things are looking around the orchards right now. The crazy weather the last couple of weeks shut down all the plants/trees’ progress. We […]
