Strawberry pricing and purchasing details

One Flat = @10#  = $35.00
Hello!
We've been pruning and sprucing up, and the farm is beautiful and ready to welcome you... almost!
Pre-Picked:
If you'd like your berries picked for you, we will have about 10 flats available Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  The strawberries are amazing this year -- enormous and sweet. You may call or e-mail to reserve one of those flats for yourself, first come first served.  Flats will be ready by 10 am, and you can pick them up anytime before dark once your name is on it.  A flat has about 10#, and is $35.00.  I'll e-mail you back to confirm we have a flat for you. You may also place orders for any day in the next three weeks.  I'd recommend reserving flats as soon as possible around the 4th of July. 
U-pick:
We will open either Saturday or Monday for U-picking.  The berry packs look incredible, and there will be fabulous picking.  We have six different varieties this year, which will ripen progressively.  U-pick is $1.65/#.  Please bring your own containers, such as ice cream buckets.  We will weigh your containers for you before you go out to the field. 
U-Pick is first come, first served.  We do not make appointments.  We open at 8 am, and close when we are picked out for the day.  As soon as we are sold out, I will post it on the website, so please check www.brouwerberries.com for current picking conditions. 
Markets:
We will only be able to take strawberries to the markets if we do not sell out at the farm. Thank-you for your understanding. 
Looking forward to welcoming you to our farm,
Sarah
 U-Pick:
 Ice cream buckets would be $8-$10 each, depending on how full they are piled.
