THANK YOU also...goes out to the wonderful lady and her daughters who brought me the CANCER SUCKS t-shirt. We were so busy i did not even get a name or an address. I want to say thanks again, and hope that you enjoy the cookbook as well!

Hay folks, we are getting a lot of e-mail orders and if you check in our orders section we ONLY accept phone orders. There are times that we can't get to the e-mail, our computer is not at the farm and we do not know what the status of the amount of poundage is, the BEST THING TO DO IS CALL THE FARM... thanks

The JERSERY'S ARE IN

Looks like the Jesery's are doing great. They are located about 10 rows west of the sales shed and from there to the tree line. They can also be found if you pick across the street. When looking for Jersey's across the street you must first walk out of the font gate and immdeicately turn LEFT and walk down the road unitl you reach the fence on the right, both across the street and half of the farm will be available to our patrons from now until Sunday, the 26th of AUGUST, possibly Friday, the 30th . Which will be our last day!

you will also be able to find very little BLue Crop and BLue Ray across the street as well. They are located if you walk out the front gate and proceed to the bushes on the same side of the creek as the trailor. REMEMBER FOLKS........the farther you get away from the front the better the picking will be. They are going to be hinding high and or low on the bushes and inside the bushes as well.

Remeber too, that as much fun as berry picking is you are coming to a farm. When picking berries it is suggested that you wear old clothes and sometimes bring a change of foot gear. One would also think to leave the technology at home. This year we have had an enormous increase in lost items that are electronic. Ipods and blackberries and the like. Unfortunealty we are not getting things turned in to our lost and found.

FUN FARM FACT:Fred Westphal planted most of the bushes in 1942 after WW II. His brother actually owned the farm. Fred use to come and pick berries every year until his death in 2002. He was 97 years old. His memory and bushes live on.

*****************************
HOW IT ALL WORKS........

Once you've found a place to park, proceed to the sales shed and say Hola to one of the wonderful staff in the shed. They will instruct you as to the best spot to pick. Feel free to use our buckets or bring your own. We do ask that if you bring your containers you make sure the ladies behind the counter weigh your containers so that we can subtract that amount from the full bucket of berries. Take as many buckets as you feel you will need. No charge to use the buckets. BUCKETS and Ropes are provided for your convience....THEY ARE NOT TO GO HOME WITH ANYONE!!!!..It is recommended that you bring your own containers to transport your tasty treats home.. although we do provide boxes in various sizes for a minimal cost PLEASE NOTE ALSO.....You must bring your money and your containers at the time of check out. You will not longer be allowed to transport your buckets to your car!
