Opening in about one week....

Hello, Dear Patient Strawberry People,
Yesterday, our weeding efforts were rewarded with ripe strawberries.  What a marvelous thing it is, to be out in the field with my children, and have them eager and happy to weed because they see red jewels popping up around them.  The flavor was magnificent -- worth the long, long wait!
We are in a whirlwind of activity here on the farm, getting ready to welcome you.  I can't wait to see all your faces when you behold the fields for the first time this summer.  Imagine what it is like when you haven't seen a child for a few years, and you come back and exclaim, "My, how you've grown!"  That's what it will be like!  The fields stretch so far, and they are so incredibly full of blossoms and white strawberries. 
U-Pick: We still hope to open late next week, or the first week of July.  Dan is modifying a hay wagon so that you can have rides to and from the field - won't that be fun?  Plan now for a family outing the week of the 4th of July - even the day of the 4th! 

Pre-Picked: NO ORDERS YET - I think we'll be able to start taking orders next week, but it depends on the weather, and we all know how changeable that can be! I'll keep you posted via e-mail and Facebook.
Giddy with excitement, and hoping you pass this on to LOTS of your friends and neighbors,
Sarah
