    U-Pick and Pre-picked Strawberries

    UP-PICK STRAWBERRIES IS NOW CLOSED FOR THE SEASON

    Thanks to all new and returning customers for this year's sweet harvest!

    The plants are loaded with berries, slowly turning red! Our berry patch is now in full swing and ready for u-picking and pre-picked orders.

    For pre-picked orders email devanpenney@gmail.com or call 519-665-7982 (landline). We anticipate having a waiting list, so please confirm with us before coming. Our price this year is $37.50 per 6 quart flat (this includes a 50 cent deposit on the flat box, refunded upon return).

     

    Our price for u-pick berries this year is $4/lb., if using your own containers or $5.25/quart, if using the quart baskets provided.

     

    WE ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON

    U-Pick times:
    Thursdays 4 pm – 8 pm
    Fridays 10 am – 8 pm
    Saturday 9 am – 6 pm

     

    We will also have limited picking opportunities on other days, by appointment only.

    COVID-19 UPDATE:

    “We encourage you to bring your own appropriate picking containers, no bags please!  If using your own containers, make sure we weigh them before starting to pick.
    For those without containers, we can provide quart baskets and flat boxes (there is a 50 cent deposit on the flat boxes) to carry them in.  We try to reuse quart baskets to reduce waste and Grey Bruce Public Health has assured us that by washing them and leaving them in the sun for several days (UV light) they will be covid-safe!”

    Last year we had a huge surge in demand and sold out quickly for both u-pick and pre-picked. We have more than doubled the production this year, so hopefully, we will be able to meet demand a little better. Nevertheless, if coming from a distance for u-pick, please call or email ahead of time, or plan on showing up as soon as we open.

    Rhubarb for picking

    Our rhubarb is finally coming ready for picking. The cool weather we have had, slowed it down to a glacial pace…, however, it is finally shooting upward. We should have rhubarb from this Thursday, May 13 till the end of June. We love to eat it fresh and put some away for stewing and baking in the winter. It is especially good with the first strawberries, a celestial match if there ever was one!

     

    We are open for u-pick and pre-picked by appointment. We also wholesale (orders of 10 lbs. or more). Our price is $3/lb. for u-pick, $4/lb. for pre-picked and $2-3 for wholesale (depending on size of order, pickup or delivery, etc.)
    Please call ahead at (519) 665-7982
    (landline so no texts please), or email devanpenney@gmail.com.

    Our Strawberry Fields

    We started growing strawberries for our foodbox program in 2013. A few years later we started gradually opening for u-pick and by 2018, we started selling small scale wholesale. Of all the crops we grow, we feel that strawberries are the most important to produce organically. It is considered one of the “dirty dozen,” a list of crops that have the highest levels of pesticide contamination. In fact, strawberries usually top the list…
