PlEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE COMING TO THE FARM: Just to be upfront to all our Farm Guest, we could be adjusting our Hours of Operation due to not having a bumper crop, sold out, picked out and excessive weather. We expect larger crowds than we can handle properly due to less strawberry farms around the state. We also expect this to be a short season. There is nobody more than myself (Troy) & our friendly Farm Staff that want to have plentiful berries for everyone to enjoy, but that’s not the case for every season. Weather plays such an important part to bring in a bountiful harvest. Please be very patient & respectful, as we truely are trying our best when the demand is way bigger than we can supply.
