Reopening April 1st!

Posted on by

We are currently closed for the winter season and will reopen April 1st! 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 Farm Market will reopen April 1st and Pick-Your-Own Berries should reopen in late May, depending on weather and crop conditions. Follow us on Facebook or check our website for news about our re-opening and u-pick dates! We wish you all healthy beginnings in 2021 and look forward to seeing you again soon!
