There are glimpses of the greatness to come soon in a Strawberry Patch near you.  After an overabundance of rain, the sunshine this week is sure to bring on the red sweetness of fresh, local strawberries.  We hope to have the Strawberry Stand open this weekend!

With the cold Spring, the Strawberry Season has been pushed back 2-3 weeks.  We hope to have some strawberries ready by Memorial Day weekend.  We will announce our Opening Day as soon as possible.  As you can see in the photo, there are some berries that are currently half-formed. They will need about 2 more weeks of sunshine to ripen into their full sweet, juicy redness.

There are a limited amount of Angus Beef quarters (1/4) available for sale in early March.  Our angus steers are pasture-raised at Glen Run Valley View Farm and finished with a small amount of local grain to increase flavor.  A 1/4 beef typically includes steaks, roasts, and ground beef, but there are many custom options available (like patties, dry beef, bologna, sweet sticks, etc.)  Please contact Jeff at 717-368-6369 for details and pricing.

The 2017 Season has officially ended.  Though the “stand” is closed for the winter, it doesn’t mean there’s nothing happening on the farm.  In September, we planted 6000 new strawberry plants, including a brand new Pick-Your-Own patch!  During the months of October, November and December, many hours have been (and will be) spent weeding and clipping runners on the new strawberry plants to promote strength and health before their long winter sleep.

We expect the strawberry stand to open in mid-May.  Check back closer to the time for a specific date.
