STRAWBERRIES
FROM LATE JUNE UNTIL OCTOBER
We welcome you to experience pick your own
(PYO) strawberries like never before with our vertical, hydroponic growing system. This uniquely designed way of growing allows you to pick standing up and not on the ground; crawling on your hands and knees! Hand-select what you bring home while making memories and enjoying a one-of-a-kind AG-venture.
Our strawberries are ever-bearing, which means that they will continue to produce berries from late June until October or the first hard frost.
