As previously stated, there was significant crop damage this year, but the lower field still has some good picking. One variety ("Climax" variety) is ready to be picked. We will be open for one day this Thursday 6/8. There is good but limited picking. After Thursday we will re-assess what is left and post additional dates when we will be open. This is the very first day of the season and definitely NOT the last so don't feel like you will miss out if you can't make it on Thursday. In coming days/weeks as other varieties ripen up we will have a lot more opportunities to pick.

Regular hours are in effect Thursday (7:30-1 and 6-dark)

Side note: in years past some customers have noted some chigger bites while picking in the lower field. Long pants and/or bug spray on your legs is advisable.

The crop this year has sustained significant damage due to the late freeze, but we will still have a moderate crop this year. Depending on conditions, we may not be open 6 days a week like most years. We anticipate the first day of picking will be in June. Stay tuned for more updates on an opening date.
