It's worth the trip.

Garlic is ready for purchase. $13/one-pound bag.
Garlic hours:
7am-8pm Fri-Sun.
5pm-8pm Mon-Thurs or by appointment.
Since you'll be here anyway, you may as well cut some flowers too. Flower hours: 7am-8pm every day

Come and cut at your leisure: 7am-8pm daily. If we are not nearby, Flower cutting will be Self-Serve and on the honor system. There is an envelope taped to the window for payment. We accept cash, check, and Venmo.

We will be around all weekend. So, you can come on out anytime between 7am-8pm. However, we recommend you cut your flowers in the morning before it gets too hot.

With the slow pace of flower cutting, we have moved everything to the front of the house. We still ask that you park in the parking lot. This week: Monday-Thursday 6pm-8pm or by appointment.

Garlic will be available soon. Reserve yours now so it will be ready and waiting before you get here.

A bunch of crazies picking in the rain. We've got A TON OF BLUEBERRIES!!!!! So, it's up to you. "Pick at your own peril," so to speak.
Cut your flowers are also available.
Depending on the heat, we'll probably stay open past noon.

Blueberry picking Friday & Saturday 7am-noon.
While the blueberries in this picture were picked here, they were not picked by us nor for us. We do not prepick berries.
There is a good possibility that some limited Cut-Your-Own Flowers may also be available. At the time of this post, the cups and cutters were not set up yet. The Zinnias and Sunflowers have not started blooming yet.

Open for Blueberry Picking Thursday, July 11th. 7am-noon. PROBABLY Friday as well 7-noon.
A group from Anoka 4-H was out this evening learning about taking care of our fruit crops and just a bit on bee keeping.

We will be closed for a couple of days.
It is possible that we could pick again as soon as Wednesday or Thursday.

We will be closing around noon today.

We will be open for Blueberries on Sunday, July 7th.
7am - picked out.

Shutting down for the day.
Another update to follow this evening

Small crowd today, but there are still lots and lots of blueberries. We are shutting down for the day and will reopen on Saturday, July 6th, at 7 am -????
Brad doesn't think we'll get picked out, but I do. If he's right, we'll pick until 6 or 7pm and then again Sunday morning. If I'm right, next picking will be next Saturday.

Because these bushes are so full, we did not get picked out today. So......, as long as it's not pouring rain and there is no thunder or lightning, we will be open Friday, July 5th. 6am-picked. I will update after we open on Friday our estimated close time.

These bushes are fuller than I have ever seen them.
So far, the rain is holding off. So, as long as it's not pouring and/or no thunder and lightning, we will be open.

Picking Blueberries 4th of July. 6am until it starts raining or until we get picked out....whichever comes first.
We DO NOT take credit cards.
We do accept cash, checks, and Venmo(3% fee added)
We do not prepick berries.

In my opinion, we should be open for Blueberries this weekend. Just waiting on Brad to let me know what day.
As for the 2nd picture: If there was any doubt that our strawberry season is truly over.........(heavy sigh)..

Blueberries are coming along nicely. Not enough ripe ones yet to be open. MAYBE???? Just maybe, next weekend??? Or 2 weeks from today.
The flowers are sure taking their time this year. We were already cutting last year at this time.
I will keep you updated as things progress.
