Strawberries, like most fragile fruits, reach their peak of perfection just before they get soft. It is the moment of ripeness when fruit sugar levels spike, and color is at its peak. Our fresh strawberries are dark red throughout, so juicy they drip, and so sweet that you won’t even want to dip them in sugar. Unless your supermarket buys from a local supplier that delivers daily, there will be no comparison between store-bought and local.”

She wondered if they could grow strawberries here at their farm and help make great memories for other families.  We attended our first Strawberry Expo in November 1996.  There was certainly a lot to learn and a lot of equipment needed that we didn’t have.  We also learned it takes lots and lots of water for growing and also frost protecting strawberries.  We got busy again.  We dug an irrigation pond and put in under ground water lines.  With absolutely no farming experience, we placed our first plants in the ground in October 1997 and harvested our first crop of strawberries in April 1998.  We have been growing ever since.”
