Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring my own containers?
No, we provide waxed cardboard
flats for you to use and take home. You can fill them however full you
want, although we recommend not putting more than 10 lbs in a flat.
If it rained, will I get muddy or wet?
We use cornstalks as mulch around
the strawberry plants. You may get a little wet, but you will not get
muddy.
Do you pick berries in the rain?
It is your choice if you want to
continue picking, but if there is lightening we request that
you come in from the field.

We use the recipe off the Sure Jell
box. Our favorite is the freezer jam.
