Strawberries have ended, soon blueberries will begin

Pick-your-own strawberries is officially over. We want to thank everyone who came to the farm to pick this little red fruit and we hope to see you again for the blueberry season which is coming sooner than expected. Hopefully, we should open by next week. In the meantime, stay healthy!

#26 - Late opening of strawberry fields

Late opening strawberry fields

We are finally open for pick-your-own strawberries. Please call the day before (after 6PM) to make an appointment. This will allow us to better guarantee reasonable social distancing.

The last heat waves and the drought have done a lot of damage in the strawberry fields and have delayed the season. Since the last couple of days the plants have regained their vigor and production is going well. Despite losses of 50% in some parts of the fields, the multiple areas that have been less affected allow for a relatively easy harvest.

Given the uncertain weather of this year, we encourage you not to wait too much before picking your strawberries. The fields can as easily close in a week or stay open for a month. Only Mother Nature will be able to determine the evolution of the season.

We look forward to seeing you!

#27 - End of season

#28 - Come pick your blueberries!

Come pick your blueberries!

Despite a delay of about two weeks, blueberry harvest promises to be excellent. While the fruits may have taken longer to rippen this year, this has allowed them to better develop their flavors!

Come and see us at the farm, we are waiting for you!

(Product available on site: tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, beets, etc ...)

#29 - The blueberries are coming!

blueberries coming!

Sorry for the delay. We have been particularly busy for the last few seasons. Our strawberries were delayed by a couple of weeks and ended up not lasting much longer than usual. As a result, there was only a short period when the harvest was abundant and it did not last long enough to open the fields to the public.

This being said, blueberry season is at our doorstep and the harvest should be bountiful. We plan to open for u-pick activities July 27. You may come to the farm sooner to pick smaller quantities; however, the berries will take longer to harvest since they will be a bit less ripe.

As usual, we are open every day from 7 to 7. Nevertheless, we advise you to call before coming to get a better idea of the state of the fields. Hoping to see you soon and wish you all a good Construction Holiday.

#30 - End and beginning

beginning

Blueberry season is officially over. We wish to thank everyone who came this summer to pick their own fruits at the farm. This being said, we are now starting canning season. Tomatoes and cucumbers are currently in abundance, a good news for those that enjoy homemade relish and ketchup.

We advice you to call in advance for any reservations before coming down to the farm, since we will no longer be open everyday.
