Martin's Farmstand:  2024 u-pick strawberry information


We are opening for the first u-pick picking of the season Saturday June 8, 2024 starting at 7 am. Peak season is still 7- 10 days out.

Hours for u-pick are Monday starting at 5 PM; Wednesday, starting 2 PM (no morning picking on Monday’s and Wednesdays); Saturday, starting 7 AM. This repeats through out the whole season. The patch closes when the berries are all picked or at 8 pm on Monday and 6 PM on Wednesday and Saturday.
When you arrive you do not need to stop at the stand to weigh your containers if you know the empty weight already. Also you do not need to stop if you are picking into standard Quart containers.
You have the option of bringing your own containers or buying empties from us. Quart boxes 25 cents each. If you are buying empty containers from us please pay when you get them rather than after you are done picking to minimize confusion as to what is going on.
NO DOGS in the field or stand areas. We will be using the same random picking pattern that we did last year. This means that you may start anyplace you wish in the patches that are open as long as you are not cutting in front of someone. It is mandatory that when you are picking that all the ripe berries are picked as you move No roaming or grazing type picking. A section of row must either be picked or not picked when you leave. We will be scouting the patch and keep suggesting where you will find good picking.
Pricing u-pick: $5 per Quart if less than 8 quarts and $3.40 per quart if more than 8 quarts; $27.20 for an 8 quart tray. All containers are expected to well filled but not heaped. We will adjust prices up or down as needed for over or under-filled containers. By the pound price is $2.30/# (limited to bigger containers or larger amounts). If you pay by credit card there is a 3% surcharge added to the above prices and you will need to use the inside checkout station rather than outside express options. Daniel

Grumpy Goat:  Honey, kreppels, kohlrabi …. Oh my!


We have a great week ahead of us. We took the spring honey off – somewhere around 175lbs – the girls did us proud! We will have at least some of it bottled and in the store starting on Friday!!! We might have sampled it a few times and it is delicious.

Also it is the 2nd Tuesday of June coming up which means Kreppel Time! These were so good last month – my particular favorite – the hazelnut though you really can’t go wrong with any of them. Just like last time kreppels will have to be preordered by going directly to Jenn’s site: https://www.hotplate.com/jennsbackstube/e8c23f97-f06f-40a3-ba50-5d9e73211224
You will have to order between Sunday night and early Tuesday Morning and you will be able to pick up in the store anytime after 3.

Other goodies looking to don the shelves of the store this week include: kohlrabi, beets, turnips, garlic scapes, basil, dill, sage, mint, oregano, kale, chard, beet greens,. I’m probably forgetting something so just come into the store and see for yourself!

And lastly, this is just a heads up that the farm store will be closed on Friday the 14th and Tuesday the 18th. We’ll be thinking of you all as were sipping G+Ts ocean side!
