If you’ve tasted them…you know!!
There’s nothing like a fresh strawberry, straight from the patch!
Bring the family out to the farm and Pick-Your-Own (in season), or grab a basket of freshly picked strawberries from our roadside stand.
The Berry Story
In 2008, we decided that we were ready for a new challenge. So, we planted a few acres of strawberries – the traditional June-bearing type. We already grew dozens of other crops. “What’s one more?” we thought. Little did we know how steep the learning curve would be! What an adventure it has been!
Picking usually begins around the middle of June. Depending on the weather, we’ll have only 4 to 5 weeks of good picking.
Because the season always flies by so quickly, we recommend eating strawberries AT LEAST once a day for that entire month!!
Don’t think it can be done? Trust us…it can!! If you need a little inspiration, click here for 100+ recipe ideas from Foodland Ontario.
COVID-19 helped us to improve some things…
Over the past 2 years, we implemented some new protocols and procedures, which – with your co-operation – resulted in two more wonderful AND SAFE seasons on the farm!
We are excited as we continuously adapt and improve, to bring you the fruits (and vegetables!) of our labour.
Here’s a quick run-down of some key points….
- Roadside Stand will be OPEN from mid-June through the end of October. (Hours are subject to change throughout the season…refer to our HOURS page.)
- Safety protocols throughout the farm…please read signs and follow instructions from our team.
- Touchless payment accepted and encouraged (Cash still accepted also!)
- Pre-picked sales from the HOME FARM only (no off-farm locations at this time )
FOR PICK-YOUR-OWN….
- A nice, simple list of Picking Guidelines.
You know we are pretty casual, country folk. We’re not big fans of strict ‘RULES’.
Of course, during COVID times, we had to lay out those rules in no uncertain terms. Thanks for your understanding.
Moving forward, we will still have some BASIC GUIDELINES for you and your family to follow. They’re in place to ensure that everyone who visits will have the safest, and most enjoyable experience possible. - A SECOND Patch!! Yep, with the increased interest in PYO, we are being proactive and getting ready (as much as we can) to meet your needs. Be prepared to be ‘redirected’ in the parking lot…in the event that we choose to send you to a different field! Please always follow the ‘U-Pick’ signs…clearly posted.
COVID-19 means some changes…
