Locally grown asparagus, rhubarb, and sweet strawberries — u-pick and ready-picked — straight from our family to yours.
“Come out, have some fun, and enjoy your time.”
Come out and pick your own, or grab ours already picked at the Red Barn and area farmers' markets.
We take you out by wagon to rows overflowing with big, red, ripe berries. Picking is by the pound — we provide the flats, so please don't bring your own containers. Open 7 a.m. – noon, Mon – Sat · closed Sundays.
