STRAWBERRY and WEATHER UPDATE: For today, Thursday, May 18th. The STRAWBERRY PATCH will be OPEN for Picking and the Weather will be PERFECT for PICKING! Bring a jacket this morning, it’s a touch cool. Today is a GREAT DAY to pick! And the STRAWBERRIES are in GREAT SHAPE!
Today, Thursday May 18th and Friday May 19th will be AWESOME for picking STRAWBERRIES! Saturday should be good too, but it depends on how busy today and tomorrow are.
BUT remember to check our daily post before coming to pick.
We WILL have Pre-Picked STRAWBERRIES today and SHOULD have them each day this week.
Remember we are Hand Dipping Ice Cream cones with Homestyle Creamy Ice Cream from Homestead Creamery. A PERFECT treat for before or after picking Strawberries.
There are about 40 rows of STRAWBERRIES. The 25 rows or so closest to the Greenhouses have the most ripe Strawberries and are fairly full at this time.
The other rows have STRAWBERRIES too, but those 25 closest to the Greenhouses have the most.
The BEST picking is on those rows. Remember to only pick fully red strawberries. A strawberry will not ripen once it’s been picked.
PLEASE check our posts before coming to pick. We are making decisions daily on picking conditions and whether or not we will have pre-picked. We want you to have the BEST picking experience possible and to pick the BEST Strawberries possible, so we are making these decisions daily.
The Strawberry Patch is located across the road from the Market. Just past the big water tanks and Greenhouses. Containers are located in the Red Hut at the Field or at the Market.
