News & Events

Strawberries are just around the corner!
The exceptionally cool spring has pushed strawberry season back by 1 to 2 weeks this year but Minnesota berry growers are reporting fields full of big, beautiful blooms that promise to become sweet, juicy berries. Metro area growers expect to open for picking during the week of June 24th with the peak coming during the long July Fourth holiday weekend. Minnesota berry season progresses from south to north, so plan on northern Minnesota farms opening around July 8th. It's always important to call the farm - these dates can change quickly!
