We have come to the end of the strawberry season for this year and thank the many people who supported this project. We still intend to bring you saskatoons and raspberries at least one more time this year, but as of yet, no specific date has been set. We'll let you know as soon as possible. Thanks.

Next Picking Days

Strawberry season is drawing to a close. We expect to be out at the church lot Thursday, July 23 and Saturday, July 25 from 3:00 - 7:00 p.m. or until we sell out. We will also be selling saskatoons for $5.00/pound or $22 for a 4 litre container (approximately 5 pounds). See you there.

After we are finished with the strawberries, we will be looking forward to selling raspberries when they ripen. We will be selling the raspberries for $5.00/pound or $22 for a 4 litre container.

Next Picking

Our next projected delivery of pre-picked strawberries to the parking lot of 1420 Portage Avenue is Friday, July 17. Due to unpredictable weather (lots of rain, not enough sun) we will not be able to deliver as frequently as anticipated. We thank you for your patience and your continued support of our project.
Our first picking was July 11. We had 12 youth plus adult supervision. Some had picked before, but for others it was a totally new experience. We look forward to gathering again to share the farm experience with the kids.

Delay

Sorry folks! It looks like we haven't been getting enough sun for the berries to ripen. Our new projected start date is Saturday, July 11. We apologize for the delay and hope that this hasn't caused you any inconvenience. We expect to have strawberries for 2 weeks. Raspberries will most likely be ready by the last week of July.
