Does Dan Win?



This is it! The season is peaking!  All rows are producing, and we are pulling incredible strawberries out of the field incredibly quickly this morning.  Dan and I have a running contest going to see if he can grow more strawberries than I can sell.  He is feeling pretty smug right now -- thinks he's done it for the first time in 14 years.  I say, 'the day isn't done yet:)'
U-Pick: We need an army of pickers, though!  The wind has blown away the mosquitoes, the sky is overcast so it is not too hot, and it is simply lovely out in the strawberry patch.  Bring a stack of buckets and a camera to show off the fruits of your labor.
Pre-Picked: We also have a lot of extra flats of our incredible variety, Jewel, this morning if you want to pick some up to take them out to the lake.  Call (320)967-4718 or just stop in.
