Sweet Summertime Starts Here!
🍓The Strawberry Festival is CANCELED on Sat, June 7 due to weather concerns! 🍓
Mother Nature threw us a curveball this season, and our strawberry crop is lighter than usual. While U-pick strawberries will be very limited, we’re still serving up a farm-fresh experience you won’t want to miss!
🎟️ Your Festival Admission Includes:
✅ A free bag for pick-your-own greens — fill it with farm-fresh spinach, lettuces, beets & more!
✅ A hands-on plant-a-seed activity — great for kids & budding green thumbs alike!
✅ Access to all our festival fun: live music, tasty strawberry treats, wagon rides, and more than 25 Festival Field attractions!
Come celebrate the season with us—we promise a berry good time!
