UPDATED 5:50 pm CDT 10-27-23

The amount of crop available varies every year and subject to daily weather influences. All organically grown.

Those customers who want to pick should let us know which crops you are interested in and roughly how much you want to pick or dig and where you are traveling from and we will notify you of availability and possible dates in advance when picking or prepicking will be available, to coordinate with you and your schedule as well as the schedules of others and how fast each crop is ripening or growing. Factors like smoke, sunlight brightness, cloud cover, weather in general and other daily environmental factors all play a role in growing food for humans.
