For a true gourmet delight, nothing can top fresh raspberries. Pick-Your-Own raspberries start labor Day weekend and are available everyday, all day long, through the month of September until killing frost. U-Pick raspberries are available on a self serve system and containers are provided free of charge. With one mile of total raspberry row length and six different varieties, there is always great picking to be had. All raspberry rows are trellised for easy picking, and next to the patch is a cart and porta poty for your convenience. The cart has picking instructions, raspberry information, containers and some change available (checks are welcome). Our ridge land raspberry patch has scenic views and a quiet setting. Up on the ridge, far away from any highway, it is a great place to slow down, decompress and reconnect with the land. Life is always busy, but enjoying some time outside in the country does wonders for the soul and creates a memory to last those cold winter months, plus you have the added bonus of fresh picked raspberries for your table. Pick-Your-Own Apples are available every Fri, Sat & Sun from 10am-5pm beginning the last weekend in September and through the month of October. We are still in the early stages with our apple orchard. At this time we have picking available on Golden Delicious and Royal Cortland. We will have more picking variety in years to come as subsequent planting mature. Also available every Fri, Sat & Sun from 10am-5pm from the end of Sept all through October, is Pick-Your-Own pumpkins from the pumpkin patch by wagon ride, corn maze and kids activity area. For more information see the Fall Activities page. Raspberries freeze wonderfully, and they are a healthy treat all year long. After you pick them, rinse the berries lightly to remove any dust or outdoor particulate. There are no sprays on our raspberries, so you only need to rinse what Mother Nature provides. Let the berries dry. At this point, if you are unconcerned with appearance, you can place them in a zip lock bag or container and into the freezer they go. If you are looking for beautiful individual berries, lay the berries in a single layer on a cookie sheet or other flat surface. Freeze the berries on the sheet, then once frozen, transfer them to a freezer container. This way they will freeze individually with perfect form for later use. |
