We will be closed Mondays.
Opening Day
We will be opening on Saturday June 28 at 9:00 am. The long cold winter slowed the development of the raspberries and caused some damage to certain raspberry varieties and some blueberry plants. Even with the damage the plants are loaded with berries. A wide variety of flowers are planted and will soon be ready for cutting, herbs are growing, the tomato plants in the tunnel are loaded with tomatoes, and many more vegetables have been planted. It looks like it will be a great season. Come on out and enjoy a day at the farm.
Summer hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 9 am – 5 pm. Closed Monday.
