Reservations here for April 28 – May 5
(The message “There are no activities available” means we are currently full. We leave the link above up for cancellations and additions.)

The cool temperatures slow down ripening. That means fewer berries during what is usually peak but with the potential for a longer season. This season has been a tough one to predict, and we truly appreciate your patience and support.

Strawberry reservation sign-up schedule for the remainder of the season:

*PLEASE NOTE: When the reservations open there is an initial rush. During that time you may see an “Invalid HTTP request”. This will disappear as the sign-ups slow. We appreciate your patience and support.
May 5 at 5:00 PM reservations open for May 6 – May 10 (Mother’s Day weekend = special package including berries, peony bouquet bar & pizza)

Weekend Packages: Saturday & Sunday

Reservation: $46 Base price includes 2 Wise Pie pizzas + 2 small quart boxes for u-pick berries PLUS $3 per person (Ages 3+). Infants 2 and under are free. Picking is usually limited to the 2 boxes included in the reservation. Please see *Note below.
Included: Use of shaded picnic patch, playgrounds, animals, scavenger hunt, and photo flower fields.
*Note: U-pick containers are per reservation, not per person. Pending field conditions, additional quantities may be available for purchase at $4.19/lb. However, availability cannot be confirmed until the day of the event, and extra picking is not guaranteed.

Weekday Picking:

$3 per person field fee (Ages 3+).

These are added when we see ample red ripe berries in the field. Peak plant production is usually mid-late April through beginning of May. This is when we are able to add the most last minute picking spots.

Wagon Rides: $4 per person (weekends & after 5:00 PM weekdays).
Barrel Train: $3 per person (weekends & after 5:00 PM weekdays).
Also Available: U-cut flower bouquets (starting in May), slushies, treats, and local goods at the Barn.

As the only USDA-certified organic strawberry farm in the area, we simply do not have enough berries to satisfy demand. To grow organically, we can only plant 1/3 of our fields at any time so we grow as many berries as we can but it is still 1/3 of what conventional farms of the same size can grow. In the past, we have had substantial revenue loss and field damage from over picking. Reservations are the best way to ensure that we care properly for our family, our farm, our crops, our neighbors, our customers, and the environment. We thank you for your time, patience, and support.

The GreenHouse at 5503 Poplin will open on April 4 for garden plant sale and outdoor fun. No reservations needed at the GreenHouse but does NOT have strawberries or farm access.
