🍓 STRAWBERRY SEASON UPDATE🍓

We’ve had some heat finally and the berries are saying “it’s time Farmer Ed!”

This spring has been a challenging one. From endless rains in April, to sleepless night after night in May running irrigation to protect strawberry blossoms from frost, to full on drought. When you grow food outdoors, every season tells a different story. This year’s story just happened to include a few extra plot twists.🤪🌧️🥶

Yes, we had some loss. This crop will be smaller, but big sections of the field made it through the weather challenges thanks to Farmer Ed’s steady hand.

The great news? The berries that made it are beautiful, sweet, and absolutely worth the wait. 💛

Here’s what we’re celebrating this season:
🍓The blossoms that survived.
🍓 The berries that ripened.
🍓 The families and friends who will reconnect at the Patch.
🍓 The kids picking with berry-stained fingers.
🍓 The memories that will be made this June.

We’re incredibly thankful for every berry, every customer, and every opportunity to share this farm with all of you.

This season, it may take a little longer to fill your flat, but you’ll still get amazing berries and create lasting memories.

So let’s celebrate the crop that took every trick in Farmer Ed’s playbook — and a whole lot of prayers — to grow into juicy & sweet strawberries!
