Are children permitted in the raspberry patch?
Unfortunately due to a lot of "free-range parenting" last season our child(ren) policy has been updated. Please note the following:
- Yes, well behaved child(ren) are permitted in the raspberry patch.
- We do require ONE adult for every TWO children in the patch.
- It is your responsibility to ensure your child(ren) are staying in your assigned row, not taste testing raspberries, picking unripe berries and/or throwing berries... yes this really happens. If they pick any unripe berries you are still required to pay for them. If they are caught throwing berries they will be asked to leave the patch and return to your personal vehicle.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep the u-picks enjoyable for all guests.
Can I bring a wagon or stroller?
No. The rows are too narrow.
Can I place on order of pre-picked berries for farm pick up?

Are your raspberries organic?
While we are not a certified organic farm we do grow everything as if we were. We work very hard to ensure our plants and trees are happy and healthy as they will yield sweeter and more delicious fruits. We also utilize cover crops to feed the bees and to increase pollination as well as to put nutrients back into the soil.

For the nostalgic, but purposeful picker.
There’s something timeless about stepping into a raspberry patch. The scent of sun-warmed fruit, the quiet rustle of leaves, the satisfaction of filling your own container, one berry at a time.
It brings back memories of simpler days… and makes space for new ones.
At our small organic farm, we’re cultivating more than fruit... we’re cultivating connection. This isn’t just a fun summer outing (though it can be that, too). It’s a way to slow down, reconnect with the land, and bring home something real.
Our raspberry patch is for the intentional picker.
...For the mom and daughter bonding over full baskets and sweet conversations.
...For the seasoned canner stocking up for winter.
...For anyone who values where their food comes from and the effort it takes to grow it.
All raspberry patch offers red, black, yellow, and purple berries... each one a little different, and all of them special.
Quantities and colors vary with nature, but the experience? That part stays golden.
Whether you're here for the memories, the jam, or just the joy of the pick, we’re glad you’ve found your way to our patch.
