We are very sorry to say that our patches suffered extensive damage from the heavy rain and the hail. Therefore, our strawberry patches are now CLOSED FOR THE SEASON.
Thank you to all of our wonderful customers. We have never had to close early in our 38 years of growing berries. We hope to see you next year.

Luckily, I picked my buckets full, now fresh frozen for the year, early Saturday morning.  If you can get out there early enough, you can beat the heat.  Sunshine is good for plants, but shady places and coolness are underrated by too many living creatures in this kind of heat...

Make it a great week!
