The farmers work very hard to get a good crop of Strawberries out for the community. I asked them…read moreabout if the farm was organic and if they use pesticides. The response was very kind. They said no they're not organic and there is no Farms in this region that are organic. They explained the chemicals is like taking a vitamins and medicine. It helps feed and protect them from pest and diseases. That they follow all practices set by the EPA. I found the farm very clean despite water puddles from the rain last week.

We called to find out if the strawberries were organic, if not, what are they treated with. We were…read moreresponded to quite rudely with arrogance and a condescending attitude. She kept stating "Why would we want to kill our strawberries? We follow all EPA rules and guidelines. If we didn't treat them, we wouldn't have any berries. I personally researched every single chemical because I don't want to be around harmful chemicals." Neither her nor Steve have any respect or tact when dealing with customers who ask things they do not like. For those who want to know - Ridomil Gold and apparently Clorox according to one of their very own comments on Facebook to another farm - that have now been deleted by the owners but l have screenshots of it. The strawberries are also advertised as 1 gallon, which they specifically said yields 5lbs. Unless your bucket is overflowing, you aren't getting 5lbs. We bought several and upon weighing them at home, only 1 gallon was 5lbs. The rest were right at 4lbs. It adds up. After seeing how they respond to customers who have every right to know what is in their food, we will not be returning. I would sooner just buy from a store and I don't say that lightly as we are a cattle farming family, we prefer to support other local farms. Not this one however.

Bring your baskets back to weigh & pay when you're done. The ripe blackberries are usually gone by midday, but there are plenty of blueberry bushes to wander through & pick from on the days they're open. They don't spray their bushes with anything, and the blueberries are delicious! It can get pretty hot in the middle of the day, so most people go in the morning or evening, though many of the bushes are tall & thick enough that you can find some shaded areas to pick in if you want.

What a beautiful drive up winding mountain roads. We got to see a deer jump away from the van as we rounded a corner and saved a little box turtle from the road. The Berry Farm is so lovely - the owners house sits atop the hill with a small shack greeting you right next to the berry field. There is a port-o-potty that wasn't totally disgusting along with a picnic table and a few chairs under a large shade tree. A sweet little creek ran between the home and field and would be a perfect spot to let the boys play. I knew the field would be closed (check their Facebook for updates on when the berries are ripe enough to pick) so this was mainly a trip to see the field and have a day out. They grow blackberries AND black raspberries (which were all picked clean). Hopefully next year I can get there early enough to try a black raspberry - blackberries are a bit too tart for me. If you love blackberries and raspberries, bring a sunhat, picnic and towel. Playing in the creek, having a nice lunch and picking the ripest berries sounds like a perfect summer day.
