The 2025 strawberry season is moving into full-swing mode. We are now open 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday, starting at 9:00am each day. Closing time is determined by daily availability… we could sell out at any time, but generally we close about 6:30pm (5:00 on Saturday.) Call 610-593-5656 or check out our website Home for the most current information.
The 2024 Pumpkin Season is in full swing with over 50 varieties of pumpkins, squash and gourds of all sizes and colors. Bring your family for a memorable adventure to find your own pumpkin in a real pumpkin field, and then spend some time playing the unique pumpkin~themed games together. The Stand offers a full selection of pre-picked pumpkins, and fall decorations like mums, bales, gourds and corn shocks.
Open daily: Monday- Friday, 10:00am-6:30pm; Saturday, 9:00am-5:00pm; Sunday, 12:00pm-5:00pm.
The strawberry season started a week early, with a bang. Unfortunately, that means that there aren’t many berries remaining to pick in June. Most likely, the Pick-Your-Own patches will close Saturday, June 8 or Monday, June 10. After the PYO patches close, only pre-picked quarts will be available for the remainder of the season.
“How much longer?” Is the most common question I hear. I don’t know. Time will tell. Usually, the “peak” is 2 weeks long, but not this year. Usually, the peak starts later than this year. Usually, we have a longer season. Usually, we have at least a week of pre-picked quarts available after PYO ends. Usually during the final week, the Stand is only open every-other day. But, a lot of “usually” didn’t hold true this year. So… I don’t know.
Strawberry Season will start with a “soft opening” on Friday, May 17 @10am, with some pre-picked berries (ONLY!), until sold out. $7.50 per quart.
*Due to all the rain, the full stand is not set up yet, so look for signs pointing you to the pickup area.
Closed Saturday and Sunday, the open again on Monday @10am for pre-picked berries. With some sunshine, the ripening process will take off and more hours and days will be added. Hopefully, the first pick-your-own patch will be ready by Memorial weekend.
We have transitioned to our “November Stand” which is a smaller stand that will be open through Thanksgiving with squash, cooking pumpkins, gourds, straw bales, corn bunches and a smaller selection of pumpkins. We have moved many pumpkins & squash inside because of the cold temperatures, so ASK if you need more than what is at the stand!
Try a new Squash! We have Delicata (lighter flavor with edible skin), 2 types of Spaghetti squash (with a pasta-like flesh), Honeynut (smaller & sweeter version of butternut), 4 types Acorn Squash, and 3 types of Buttercup squash. There are also several varieties of “pie” pumpkins available, including my favorite… the Jarrahdale with a dark orange, smooth flesh. Bake the de-seeded halves, scoop the resulting purée out of the shell, and use it in your favorite recipes. Easy.
50+ varieties of pumpkins of all shapes, colors and sizes await your arrival. Jump into Fall with an outing to our pumpkin farm to pick your own pumpkin from the field, or select from those we picked. Allow time to play the free games… bowl a pumpkin through the Pumpkin Putt-Putt course, or race mini pumpkins down the Pumpkin Derby track. Add some colorful mums, straw bales, corn bunches, squash, gourds and corn shocks to your wagon, and you’re set!
The season is winding down. We will be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting at 9am, until sold out. Each day we will have pre-picked berries, and hopefully have some PYO rows available. Yes, there are berries, but picking takes a little more work to fill a tray as the supply dwindles. IF we have berries beyond Friday, we will let you know. (Check our website’s home page, or call 610-593-5656).
Wednesday through Saturday open at 9:00am for Pick-Your-Own (PYO) and pre-picked berries. Lots of great strawberries waiting to be picked. We should have enough berries to be open most of the day, instead of constantly closing early. However, if you plan to arrive after 2:00pm, you may want to call to check availability. (610)593-5656.
Our goal is to be open Monday through Saturday, 9am-7pm, or while supplies last. Closed Sunday. PLEASE check our website, our voicemail, Facebook or Instagram for up-to-date information. Most days we are completely sold out by 12-2pm. Some days we need to close the Pick-Your-Own early, or we run out of pre-picked berries.
The strawberries are excellent this year, super sweet with all the abundant sunshine. Demand for berries has been high, PYO customers have been numerous, and we have been blessed with beautiful picking weather (except for those 5:30 mornings when it’s only 39-41 degrees when we start picking the pre-picked berries.) Unfortunately, it is VERY dry, the driest May since 1939 with only 1/4 of rain, so our production is lower than normal. We do irrigate, but we need rain because our house well can’t keep up with the needed water. I apologize for the constantly changing hours and days of operation, but the supply and demand isn’t adding up this year.
Monday (5/22): pre-picked berries only, starting at 10:00am, until sold out. Closed Tuesday. Then the Pick-your-own fields open on Wednesday (5/24) as we shift to our regular daily hours. 9:00am – 7:00pm, or until sold out. Pre-picked quarts are $7. PYO trays are $20 (small tray, holds 4-5 qt), or $35 (large tray, holds 8-9 qt).
