It’s November and we still have strawberries available in small quantities. If you haven’t yet made strawberry jam, frozen some for winter smoothies, or made strawberry shortcake, now is the time to get them! They are wonderful!
The cold temperatures, clouds, and snow mean that not much is growing or ripening this week. Several crops on the Availability List are very limited this week. We will try to fill your order but may not have certain items this week, hopefully we will soon get some sunshine and warmer temperatures to help move crops along in their ripening.
The Farm Store is now closed for the season but you can still get our pesticide-free berries, vegetables, and other local foods by emailing an order to us.
If you would like to pick up products on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday email us an order through the “Contact us” tab above.

We are the first farm in the country to cover our entire blueberry and raspberry plantings with a fine mesh netting to exclude a tiny invasive insect that would ruin our crops or require us to spray every 5-7 days. Dale-Ila is the creator of this innovative technique and is teaching growers throughout the country that this technique works while providing pesticide-free berries to you!
If you are a commercial grower that is interested in obtaining netting, please send us an email through the “Contact” tab above.
Thank you for your support this year!
