​​​​​​​Do I need to bring my own container?
No. We provide you with a clear vented clamshell container and the experience. You provide the fun and the memories.  

Do you accept credit cards?
Yes. There is a separate price for credit/debit card purchases. Cash is the preferred method of payment. We do not accept personal checks. 

​​​​​​​Will you have any pre-picked strawberries that I can purchase at the counter?

No. We get picked out almost every time we are open. Any pre-picked berries are used to fill requests of those who are physically unable to pick and have their name on our pre-picked list. 

How long will you have the PYO this year?
Our season is typically only 20 days long... I know it's too short. While every season is different due to the dramatic swings in Ohio Spring weather, we like to give the ballpark of our season starting around Memorial Day and ending close to Father's Day. However, we liken it to a baby's due date... just because you have a date doesn't mean the baby is going to come on that day. 

Can I taste test the strawberries in the field before paying?
We understand that tasting freshly picked strawberries is a delightful part of the picking experience, but we kindly ask that you limit your taste testing to just a few strawberries.

We want to make sure that everyone who visits our farm has a great experience, and excessive taste testing not only takes away from the picking experience for other customers but also results in higher prices for all. By being mindful of how much you taste, you help ensure that everyone can enjoy our delicious strawberries. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Is there off street parking?
Yes, there is parking in grass. In the event of a lot of rain the PYO may be reservation based or cancelled due to risk of cars getting stuck. 

Is there a public restroom?
No. There are 2 gas stations less than 2 miles away from the farm if nature calls. 

Can I bring my kids and grandkids?
Of course we want you to make memories with your loved ones. Just remember it is your responsibility to teach them how to correctly pick strawberries. Meaning they are NOT to rip the plants out of the ground or pick ANY green berries. If they pick any green berries you are still required to pay for them.  

Are your strawberries organic?
While we are not a certified organic farm due to surrounding fields being commercially farmed we do grow everything as if we were. We feed our crops fish, seaweed, minerals, humic acid and molasses while using garlic and neem oil to prevent disease and pest infestation when/if any arise. 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.  ​​​​​​​
