Posted on by

We are currently closed for the winter season and will reopen on Wednesday, April 10, 2019. Thank you for another wonderful season of support, helping keep our community green and growing! We couldn’t continue our mission to provide fresh produce and an authentic family farm experience without the support of our regular and seasonal customers, our Healthy Bites Buying Club Members, and the schools and groups who visit our farm throughout the year. Our Farm Market will reopen April 10th and Pick-Your-Own Berries should reopen in late May, depending on weather and crop conditions. We wish you all healthy beginnings in 2019 and look forward to seeing you again soon!
