2024 Strawberry U-Picks.

We are one of the few certified organic strawberry farms in Wisconsin.
Our 2024 strawberry season has ended. It was winding down anyway but the heavy rain on Saturday finished things off.  We will have berries again in 2025!  As usual, our CSA members have first dibs on picking.  After that, we open to our email list.  Reservations fill quickly.

FAQs

Reservations are required.
It helps us manage the picks.  Please do not come to the farm without a reservation.

Payment
Payment by cash or check.  No credit cards (yet).  No Venmo.

Parking
Park on the north side of our country road (the side toward our farm.)  Please get out and check the ditch before pulling off the road.  Some of the ditches are steep and there’s been a lot of rain.

Containers
We will provide cardboard flats for picking and taking your berries home.

Accessibility
Our facilities are not handicap accessible.

Your responsibilities
–  Please keep your children with you.  There are a variety of dangers on a farm.
–  Please supervise your children’s berry picking.
–  Come prepared for the weather.  Check the forecast before leaving home.  Wherever you live, it will hotter/colder/wetter/drier here at the farm.   
–  We have beehives.  Our beekeeper cautions that you should avoid scented products when you visit, especially ones that resemble flowers or food because those may attract the bees.  Think about your soap, sunscreen etc.
–  Do not bring dogs to the farm.

Can I eat berries in the field?
Feel free to try a few, to learn what ripeness you like.

What do I need to bring?
We provide cardboard containers to pick into, and to take your berries home.  You don’t need to bring your own containers.  Wear your sunscreen.  Bring water and a hat.  We recommend sensible shoes.  

What do I do once I’ve finished picking?
Bring your cash or checkbook to the field with you.  Once you’re done picking, go to the table at one end of the berry field to pay.  There will probably be a truck near the table.

Lightning and tornados 
It is OK to continue picking if it rains, but everyone must get out of the fields if there is lightning.  You can take shelter in your cars, or in the open shed attached to the big barn.  It is at the end of the barn furthest from the road and the doors will be open.  We do not have shelter from tornados and you will have to use your own judgment.

How many u-picks will you host?
Perhaps one or two per week during the month of June.  It all depends on the berries!

What are the hours?
Check your u-pick reservation for your arrival time, as well as the farm closing time for that date.  We will set each date’s opening and closing times to match the weather and berries.

Can I bring food to the fields?
No. For food safety reasons, we cannot allow food in the field.  Strawberries excepted!  Feel free to picnic under the shade trees near the road.

Can I bring dogs to the farm?
No.

If I show up without a reservation, will I be able to pick berries?
No.

Am I going to love the berries?
Yes!
