Pick Your Own
June 16 Update Strawberries We are expecting good picking conditions for strawberries all week this week. Conditions will likely begin to taper off this weekend and into next week depending on weather and picking volume. It has been a tough growing season with difficult spring growing conditions and combating pests. We have many strawberries still coming on while others are becoming overipe. You will need to move around find “just right” berries. We feel grateful to have a strawberry crop even if it is an imperfect year where we have to sort as we pick. Many local patches have had to close and couldn’t even open. Many Michigan growers are facing the same struggle this season. Sweet and Tart Cherries We are planning to open Wednesday June 17 if the weather allows. Sweets will only last 1 or 2 days depending on picking volume. Tarts maybe a few days longer. We have a very small crop and consider ourselves lucky to have any at all. We will attempt to bring cherries in from the west side if we can find any available. Cherries were hit very hard by spring frosts across the entire midwest. Red Raspberries We are opening Raspberries June 17 if the weather allows. We have a very nice Raspberry crop. Raspberries continually produce most of the summer. Call for picking conditions. Raspberries, will ripen with a lot of picking, then be sparse, then ripen again so it changes daily. That is just the nature of Raspberries. Blueberries Check back after July 4th for updates. It is too soon to tell, but we do expect that they will come early this year. Peaches We will very few peaches this year and will not open for Pick Your Own. We hope to have them available in the market. We will attempt to supplement our small crop with peaches from the west side if we can even find any. Most peaches were wiped out in Michigan by -20 degrees winter weather. What to Expect Before you Pick Strawberry picking conditions are among the most weather-dependent predictions we make. Ripening is driven by a delicate mix of heat, humidity, and rainfall. These factors can shift dramatically from one day to the next. A stretch of warm sunshine can accelerate a field from "not quite ready" to "peak picking" almost overnight, while an unexpected cool spell or heavy rain can stall or set back progress just as quickly. We monitor conditions closely and give you our most informed estimate, but it's worth knowing that "good," "fair," or "poor" picking can look different depending on your own expectations, preferences, and experience in the field. What one picker finds plentiful, another might find sparse. We take these forecasts seriously and update them as often as conditions change. Like the weather itself, strawberries don't always follow the plan. Inclement Weather During rainy or inclement weather, we may delay opening or close the patch to ensure the fruit is dry and conditions are safe for picking. We always try to communicate closures as early as possible. Call (810) 632-7692 for the most up to date conditions.
