It’s time to say thank you. We’re so so grateful to each and everyone of you for supporting our family farm. For watching the posts, for taking time off work, for rearranging your schedules, and for being so excited for strawberry season.
Strawberries are what started it all at the Patch, and you continue to show up, which makes all the sleepless nights and long days worth it. Nothing beats being in an industry where time and time again customers show their gratitude and appreciation for all we do. Thank you!
Our 2026 strawberry season has come to a close. But we’re not done here at the Patch. Our sugar snap peas should be coming along soon and we’ll keep you posted on your chance to pick them or pick them up in the farm store.

Everyone keeps asking…
🫛 “When will the peas be ready?” 🫛
Well, the peas have quite a tale of woe to tell.
It all started on April Fools’ Day. We probably should have known better than to plant that day because apparently Mother Nature was feeling mischievous. 😄
Over the next two weeks, the Patch received inches and inches of rain, and the peas… well, let’s just say very few survived.
So we replanted on April 25th.
Now, under normal circumstances, these peas are ready about 58 days after germination. Give them a week or so to sprout, and that would put us right around June 29th.
But then May decided to be exceptionally cool. And now June is taking a turn too. But peas like cool weather so….🤷🏼♀️
Whew. Farming sure knows how to keep us humble.
Here’s what we do know: The peas are coming. Eventually. 😄
And when they do, you’ll have several opportunities to come out to the Patch and pick your own.
You probably just won’t be able to pick both strawberries and peas on the same day this year.
That’s farming for you. 🌱🫛
Stay Tuned Pea Friends!
Hope to See you in the Patch Soon!
