The Berry Patch is switching to orders submitted via email for our produce after August 30th. We have done this since Covid started in 2020 so we have a system down. We are sorry that we can’t continue to have the farm store be open in person. We just don’t have staffing to have the store continue to be open this season. We are at the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market every Saturday so please visit our booth on Second St.
TO ORDER, look at the availability list below, decide what you want, click on the “Contact” tab above, and send us an email with 1. What you want; 2. How much you want (e.g. number of melons or pounds of tomatoes); 3. What day and time you want to pick up (Wed, Thurs, or Fri) 4. A cell number so I can let you know when your order is ready to pick up, what your total is for your order, and instructions for pick up. We are not able to accept credit card payments for orders getting picked up so be sure to bring cash or check.

If you are looking for ExcludeNet insect exclusion netting for your large garden or as a commercial grower, click on the “Berry Netting” tab above or send us an email through the “Contact” tab above. We have a good supply of 6.5’ and 13’ wide x 300+ feet long rolls of SWD/Cucumber Beetle exclusion netting available now in August 2026
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!
Thank you for your support this year!
