Homegrown Strawberries Update

Strawberry season is beginning to wind down at our farms, and this weekend may be one of your final chances to enjoy fresh, homegrown strawberries. Pick-your-own strawberries are expected to be available this weekend at our Versailles, KY Farm, while availability at our Belleville, IL Farm is still to be determined and can change quickly based on weather and field conditions.

Fresh berry availability in our stores and picking conditions may vary daily by location. Before visiting, please check our Crop Update page for the latest information on strawberry availability, picking conditions, and hours.

Don’t miss your chance to enjoy strawberry treats, fresh-picked berries, and sweet summer memories on the farm.
