The first fruit of the season are the June-bearing strawberries. They ripen June 1 or soon after and are good picking for 3 weeks. We currently have 3-1/2 acres of strawberries with our sweet varieties being Honeye, Jewel, and the jumbo sized Cavendish.

We have special open hours during strawberry season:

• U-pick = 7:30am - 6pm daily, rain or shine
• We-pick = 10am - 6pm daily, rain or shine

We have two types of raspberries -- the summer bearers that start July 1 and are great picking for the month -- and the fall bearers which start giving berries in July and give their largest yields in August and September and right through October until we get hit with a couple hard frosts.

We are back to our regular farm market open hours of 10am to 6pm, and Open Daily for both U-pick or We-pick.

Our black raspberries have a unique flavor all their own and have become popular at our farm market for the past 2 years. These raspberries ripen all at once so their timetable of availability is quite limited. They start to ripen approximately July 1 and are done within 2 weeks.

With both red and black raspberries, we do freeze our excess pints at the end of each day, so it is possible for us to have these berries during all times of our open season from April 20 through October 31. These are ideal for making jam, baking pies and cobbler, on ice cream, or in smoothies.

Our jumbo blueberries are a real treat to pick on tall bushes that make picking easy. Blueberries are ripe by July 1 and continue through August 15 when all the berries have been picked and are gone until next year! We have fresh pre-picked, and

U-pick is available by advance inquiry. Please call to set up a picking time and for current prices: 608-254-2311

Domestic blackberries, both thorn and thornless, have not wintered over successfully for the past 6 years that we've tried. At this time we have uprooted all our bushes, and until we find a variety that gives a nice yield of berries yearly, we will only have wild blackberries available and that is limited due to weather and supply. Wild blackberries ripen August 1 through September 15.

The month of August brings us juicy sweet vine-ripened muskmelons, super sweet yellow-doll watermelon, long striped red watermelon, and the dark green sugar babies, which are all of the seeded variety. Of the seedless types, we raise a large striped red-seedless watermelon, known as "Seedless", as well as a mini red seedless that is of one-person proportion. Summer of 2006 we enjoyed a delicious new orange seedless watermelon that became popular with our customers and that we will continue to grow as a regular item.

New at the market is our orchard of blue plum trees, pears, apples, and concord grapes. Our concord grapes are well established giving a high yield of quality grapes for juice, jelly, and wine making. We now have added seedless, red, and white table grapes to our little vineyard, but our purple concords are still the best.
