    Perfect stop for UPick berries. Loved that they still had blueberries late in the season (late Aug…read more/ early Sep) as most farms said they were done as of early August. The fresh raspberries were so tasty and fun to pick. The blackberries were minimal on my visit but those that I found were good and flavorful. Not sure of organic, but all berries were pesticide free and oh so tasty. They have roaming chickens in the fields and they were pretty friendly/annoying you as you pick :) Farmer Mike was super friendly and welcoming to his farm. Note that they have Isham Farms on both sides of the road. The berries are up the driveway by the Sugar Shack were they make maple syrup in March/April of each year.

    We visited Isham for a wedding weekend and were blown away by its beauty!…read more For the rehearsal dinner, there was a very relaxed BBQ, complete with a berry picking. The bride and groom were allowed to bring in all of their own food and beverages, which made for a low-key, easy event. The wedding day included wagon rides through the fields - and another full, fun evening. I can't speak to whether the food and service are recommended/provided through the farm but it was a wonderful, tasty, family-style meal; and, the bartenders and other servers were friendly and fast. Farmer Mike himself is a also very friendly and clearly proud of his beautiful property. Oh, and his berries, honey, and syrup are all some of the best I've had. Overall, I would highly recommend Isham for DIY berry picking with the family or the entire property for an event.

    This review is based on my first visit for u-pick berries. I went for their red currants and blue…read moreberries. VT is the only place I found fresh currants so I was ecstatic to find a certified organic farm that grew them and were in season! +++ LRF is a family owned fabulous 200+ acres working farm in Monkton! Of that 90 acres is CERTIFIED ORGANIC, which has stringent requirements. I think it takes about 3 years and is an expensive process for farmers. They offer pick your own (PYO) berries (strawberries, currants, raspberries and blueberries), retail online and on-site for garlic, onions, tomatoes and other produce, pasture raised hen eggs and scratch made jams and CSA. They also sell hay to local farmers. Around here, customers, CSA included, come to farms to pick what they want. I called ahead and met Eugenia(sp?) upon arrival. She was friendly and showed me how and where to pick both red and black currants. Blue berries were not open to the public yet but she kindly let me pick a quart;-)). Their berries are high quality and after picking 3 quarts of berries, I decided I had an ample quantity....berry picking was addictive - LoL! + Price was reasonable. I paid $20 for 3 quarts of organic berries! TLR accepts cash, check and Venmo. + Parking if free ++ Eugenia was very kind and helpful! They are open May - October for PYO but CALL ahead and listen to their recording as their hours depend on weather changes and each crop ripeness. I left a voice message and Eugenia called me back after 90 minutes. Get some fresh air and enjoy getting farm fresh organic food!

    I was fortunate enough to find this farm via the state's list of pick-your-own farms. They are a…read morefully organic farm, which is no small feat. Strawberries are the number one produce that is on the EWG's annual dirty dozen list, full of so many pesticides, that there's no way I want to buy non-organic strawberries (pesticides used for organic use are much safer). The farm has an excellent and safe procedures plan in place for COVID-19. You make a reservation in advance on the date you want, giving you two hours to pick as much as you need. They provide the cartons, which cannot be reused by anyone else due to safety measures. You will pay them via Venmo or credit card-no cash exchanges hands. So we decided on a sunny afternoon and donning our masks, headed out to the fields after we'd washed our hands in the outdoor sink, per their policy (excellent). One bonus to having a reservation, is fewer people picking at a time. We had several rows to ourselves and the owner Silas took the netting off of some patches for us and said we were welcome to move more, if we needed to. 70 minutes later, laden down with over 15 pounds of delicious strawberries of different varieties, paid the bill and headed home. These berries are amazing. I made: -strawberry lemon marmalade; -low sugar strawberry jam; -strawberry vinegar (and took the strawberries once the vinegar was fully infused and sweetened to make pie filling; -strawberry red wine jam and still have 4 cups to do with as I please! (still deciding) I'll definitely come here again; this is a wonderful farm in a gorgeous part of Vermont (couldn't all of VT though described as such)?
