Strawberries

Strawberries are ripe for harvest sometime in early June and usually last into the last week of June, sometimes the first week of July. We grow strawberries at both our Valley Farm and Pumpkinseed Hill Farm.

Blueberries

Blueberries are ready for harvest in early to mid-July and usually last until early August. However, we adapt to what Mother Nature gives us each year. We grow blueberries at both our Valley Farm and Pumpkinseed Hill Farm.

As we reflect on our agricultural adventures and experiences, I find it exciting to realize that our many environmental practices work in symbiosis with the positive ecological impacts and the economic success of our farm.

I believe this is a critical message for our nation to embrace.
