Pick Your Own Schedule

Strawberries
Strawberry season is over for 2013.  The berries were especially delicious this year. Thanks to everyone who came out to pick and buy berries. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we did!  Strawberries should be ripe next year (in 2014) around Memorial Day.

Raspberries

Black Raspberries
Black Raspberries are now RIPE! It is a very nice crop this year. But please remember that black raspberries have a very short season, usually just lasting two weeks. Our best guess is that they will last through July 7. Peak picking will be June 29-July3. With over forty acres of berries there should be plenty for everyone. To place an order for picked berries, please call 937.382.4004 twenty-four hours in advance.

Red Raspberries
Red Raspberries are now ripe also.  They are a little more scattered picking at this point, but there are some very nice size berries.  The red raspberries will bear fruit again in late summer and into the fall.
