Upick Information:
WE ARE CASH AND CHECK ONLY
Always call before coming to check availability 507-645-9749 we get extremely busy, especially on the weekends and weather plays a big part too
We welcome families to come and pick, however for the safety of the children they MUST be supervised (We recommend one parent for every two children)
Help us keep the fields healthy by picking cleanly in our rows! As a fun tip, the smaller/medium-sized berries actually have more flavor than the larger ones
It gets hot and buggy! We recommend you bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and bug spray- we do not provide them
Due to the width of the rows, we do not allow any strollers or carts into the fields
We love our furry friends as much as you, but due to food safety we do not allow any pets into our fields- no expections
"Berry Best" Strawberry Tips
We sell prepicked berries in a quart or a flat (6 quarts)
The optimal shelf life of a strawberry is about 3 days
Strawberries must be kept in the refrigerator for optimal shelf life
Strawberries will mold or melt if left in a hot car or on a counter-top
Rinse berries only before using, doing it too early can lessen the shelf life
Keep hulls on until ready to use, they last longer!
Spread on cookie sheet and freeze 1 hour then move into freezer bags for individually frozen berries (best for 1 year)
To save yourself time, freeze the berries the way you plan to use them (Whole, sliced, jam, mashed, etc...)
If you use frozen berries in a recipe that were sweetened with sugar during freezing reduce the sugar amount in recipe by 1/2 cup for every pint(2 quarts)
