WHAT'S GOING ON
We operate a self-serve stand throughout the spring-summer months.
At the stand, we sell plants, freshly picked
unique berries, jams, and syrups.
Berries, Nuts, Produce
Along with blackberries and raspberries, we also grow an interesting assortment of less common berries including haskaps, currants, gooseberries, jostaberries, goumi, mulberries, sea buckthorn, and elderberries.
We also have some young nut trees including hazelnut, hickory, pecan, and heartnut. The trees are still young, but we hope to offer nuts to purchase in the years to come.
We also offer produce on occasion, including
asparagus, kale, swiss chard, and snap peas.
