Week of the 4th of July

Good morning!
It was so wonderful on Friday and Saturday to see so many happy people.  When the strawberries are doing well, then everyone, from the employees, to the U-pickers, to the people picking up pre-picked berries, is happy. 
We anticipate even more of the same this week, as our Jewel and Glooscap varieties are now ripe, and looking amazing.  Large, sweet, and almost flawless - I hope you all take this opportunity to share in summer's most wonderful crop. 

U-pick: Opening at 8 this morning, and probably every day this week except Sunday.  We anticipate being open all day and into the evening, but please check our website before coming out to confirm.  I will post updates there throughout each day as we monitor the field and keep an eye on how many rows we have left.  Dan finished the wagon (finally:) so you and your children can enjoy a wagon ride to and from the field. 
Pre-Picked: We will keep lots of extra on the shelves this week so you can swing by and pick some up for your family.  We anticipate high demand on the 3rd and 4th of July, so it may be wise to e-mail me at brberries@gmail.com to reserve what you want for those days.  I'll be posting on our website  and Facebook each day when we have extras to be claimed. 

Looking forward to seeing you,
Sarah
