Raspberry UPick!


This has really been a weird season! The early heat and rain has had a large impact on our crops, mostly by making everything ahead of schedule. Strawberries are already long gone, but now the raspberries are in full swing! Raspberries usually aren’t ready until about halfway through July, but we’ve had them since the beginning of the month! Right now our 3000 raspberry canes are just loaded with berries! Our UPICK is open along with our store hours, every day from 10-6! Feel free to shoot us a call if you want to check availability, as the berries ripen in waves and if we get alot of pickers, sometimes the canes need a day or two to replenish! We are hoping that the season will last another two weeks, but we’ll keep you informed! Check our twitter for the most recent online updates, or give us a call at (519)-599-3691!
After our normal stock of raspberries are finished for the year, we still have our later varieties such as the kiwi (pictured above!), everbloom and black raspberries to look forward to in the store!
