Strawberry Season Update:

How do we stop overfishing of the oceans?
What can be done to stop the spread of invasive species?
When will there be enough ripe berries to open the patch for pick-your-own?

We're not sure about the first two but Farmer Ed is in the fields watching the berries! We may open as early as Saturday, but more likely sometime early next week. 


Stay tuned Berry Friends :).

We sure hope that you enjoyed your produce from the Patch last year and sincerely hope that you will be back for more this season. 

Until the Berry Season Begins, the Patch is Closed
We don't close the Patch often, but since asparagus season has ended we are taking the time to set things up for our juiciest season. 

Once strawberry season begins our hours will be:

Please note that our hours will be different for pick-your-own strawberries than they are for pre-picked berries:

Pick-your-own strawberries:  We will be open Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, 8am - 8pm.

Pre-picked strawberries:  We will be open Monday - Saturday, 9am - 6pm. Please call ahead to place your order.  

The Patch will be closed on Sundays.

What are the farmers doing these days?

We are planting, weeding, setting up the Patch for strawberry season and waiting patiently for the strawberries to ripen! We've already planted our peas, potatoes, and next year's strawberry plants as well as our pumpkins, sweet corn, green beans, and edamame. Now we just have one more planting of sweet corn to get in the ground, everything else is planted! Until then, we continue weeding of the strawberries and various crops and last but not least we watch over our wonderful flock of free ranging chickens!

Here's to a wonderful new year of growing local, healthy food!
We are so grateful for all of our customers and your love for fresh, ripe, and delicious homegrown food!

Hope to see you in the Patch soon,
Farmer Kathy and Farmer Ed
