"Organic Berries Straight from the Farm"

We are a pick-your-own (PYO) farm or you can buy pre-picked berries at our farm store, along with our certified organic jam, local maple syrup, coffee, and books. We also have free wireless Internet connection at the farm store.

Our berries are Certified Organic and the best flavor you can imagine. Maybe even beyond your imagination! Come and pick your own for the best value, or buy your berries pre-picked at our farm store.

We are open from July 4 weekend through Columbus Day weekend. The picking season runs from early July through through early October until the first frost. Raspberries ripen first (in 2010 we started picking July 4). Blueberries are ready in late July usually (in 2010 it was early--July 15). Blackberries ripen after Labor Day and the 2011 fruit set looks good. We harvested a small crop of Cherries in 2009--our first from these young trees--but frost and damp weather this year ruined the crop again. Growing cherries in our location is turning out to be a real challenge.

Berry picking is what our ancestors did in ancient times, and picking your own berries in their natural organic state recreates a primal human experience. It is utterly unlike the world of TV and electronic entertainment, and is inherently refreshing. This is absolutely the best time a family can spend together in the summer! And good for your health too. Blueberries in particular are a super food with phenomenal healing and rejuvenative properties.

We might just have the BEST berries in central Vermont, or maybe in all of New England!
(This is our view, but we are not biased of course!)
