Raspberries are only picked into 1-pint containers. The price is set per container volume. Please check out and pay in the stand when you have finished picking.
The deck, sandbox and multiple picnic areas will be open. We will have real fruit slushies and other local refreshments to enjoy.
Bathrooms for customers are located on site.
All areas are wheelchair accessible. For guests with mobility issues, we also offer easier-to-reach picking sections and staff assistance as needed.
gooseberries
These berries are often compared to sour grapes, or sweet & sour grapes. We have multiple varieties with green varieties being sweeter than the red, and pink varieties landing somewhere in the middle. Gooseberries are often used for cooking but many love to eat them raw! They do have thorns, so please pick carefully. Gooseberries crop from mid to late July. Generally speaking this fruit is finished as we get into August.
red currants
These jewel-like berries are strongly tart-sweet so add a great kick to salads, pies, tarts, breakfast dishes, summer puddings and other baked berry treats. They are often used atop cheesecakes, and in jellies and sauces for meats. We have multiple varieties of red currants which span through July. They start early in the month and generally speaking this fruit is finished as we get into August.
black currants
Black currants are extraordinarily high in vitamin C, other essential nutrients, and have a strong, unique, earthy flavor. They are excellent for baking and well known for pies, jams, jellies and even cocktails. They pair fantastically with raspberries in jam and sorbets! We have multiple varieties of black currants which start around mid-July and generally last into mid-August.
Blueberries
We have 12 acres of cultivated blueberries. Our varieties include Earliblue, Blue Crop, Blue Ray, Collins, Sierra, Duke Liberty, Berkeley, Coville, Nelson, Brigitta and Elliot. Generally there are at least 2 or more of these varieties available for picking at any point in time. Ripening is staggered starting with early varieties in early July with the latest often running through September.
raspberries
Raspberries usually crop from early July until late early August.
Tips for Picking
Bring a belt so you can loop your bucket handle through it, allowing both hands free to pick berries.
Bring a hat, sunscreen and water. There is very little shade once you are in the field.
We ask that you check-in at the farmstand prior to picking and pick into our containers. Raspberries are picked into cardboard1-pint containers which you take home. Blueberries, Currants & Gooseberries are picked into 1-quart containers, small pails (2.75qt) or large pails (5.5qt). The pails have liners, but you can also bring trays or containers to leave at the farmstand to carry your berries home.
If it is a wet day or previous night, bring a raincoat as the bushes often remain wet. Plan to dry your berries off in front of a fan & on a layer of paper towels before you store them.
Please no smoking or pets on the property, thank you for your understanding.
