U-Pick Strawberries Update:

Due to spring weather conditions and our strawberry crop ripening much faster than expected, our U-Pick strawberry season has officially come to an end.

While we're disappointed that the season ended sooner than anticipated, Strawberry Festival is still happening through June 21 and there is plenty to enjoy at the farm, including:

Farm activities and hayrack rides
Animal Barn and U-Play attractions
Strawberry-themed food and treats
Live entertainment and special events
Our brand-new Ice Cream Parlor

Thank you for supporting our farm and making this year's strawberry season so memorable. We're already looking forward to growing an even better crop next year.
