How we run our U-pick Strawberry patch! 10 Reasons to buy Local Organic Food! How to tell if your strawberry farm is uses organic methods! HOW TO GROW YOUR OWN JUNE BEARING STRAWBERRIES RIPE BERRIES: We do NOT expect anyone to pick a berry that is not ripe RIGHT TO THE VERY TIP. Those berries should be left on until the next go thru the field. Berries on the field do not all ripen at once, so we must pick systematically (Believe me I wish I had a direct line to Mother Nature!). This means sometimes you get a row that has fewer ripe berries. NO WORRIES. If you need more picking space, we will give you more. PLEASE DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO PICK AND LEAVE HERE WITH UNRIPE BERRIES. And right now we have gazillions of berries to come, so you everyone will get their winter supply! We have samples for people to try and we bought some for ourselves. They are heirloom quality long lasting really comfy chairs! We will have pickling Cukes available mid August. Please order in advance 250-336-8872 or check for our upick openings! We have HOSTAS for sale! $6 We have evergreen shrubs (Blue Spruce, Norway Spruce). THEY ARE OUT OF THE GROUND AND IN POTS. It is best to transplant them NOW. Prices from $17 - $27 depending on size and variety. Strawberry Picking, Facts and Tips. Photos!
