SWEET CORN

 

 

                       

 

We have started growing sweet corn in May this year.    We are hoping that we will have sweet corn available for purchase by the end of July or beginning of August, but of course that is dependant on the weather.  Sweet corn is $4.00 a dozen and you can stop in any time when it is ready for picking.  If you are in need of large quantities for freezing, canning, or eating, please let us know in advance so we can have it ready for you.  If you have questions about sweet corn, please call or e-mail Nick and Gretchen

  

 
 

We expect that berries will be ready for each season picking around the middle of June, but this can vary depending on what the weather does. Berry price will be $1.50 per pound if you pick your own and $2.25 per pound for pre-picked.  We will provide large flats and quart boxes, but if you would like to bring your own container to pick in that is also allowed. If you bring your own container, we will have to weigh it prior to you picking berries, so please check in at the shed. Picking will start as early as 7 am and will go until the ripe berries are picked for the day.  We recommend calling a day in advance to make sure there will be berries ready.  Again, pick your own will be done on a first come-first serve basis. Please call or e-mail Nick and Gretchen with questions or for more information.

 

Some of our new berries were planted with a planter.  These will be covered with straw in the fall and will make matted rows.

 

The rest of the new berries were planted on plastic to help prevent weed growth and help maintain moisture.

Strawberries are a favorite summer snack, and they're even better when you get to pick them yourself!  We have the option of picking your own, on a first come-first serve basis, or at your request we can pick them for you. 

We have approximately 3 acres of berries to pick from in 2010.  This year we are also adding several thousand Day Neutral strawberries, which produce later into the summer.  These will be pre-picked only, and will also us to answer the demand of those who want more!

Our 2009 season was great, with MANY pounds of berries picked!  For a few of our "berry picker's" pictures, please click here!
