Our final day is over. Pete and I couldn’t have done it without Linda James these past 13 years as she was beyond terrific in our farmstand! My wonderful sisters, Leigh and Cynthia came to celebrate with us. They have helped on the farm many times over the years. Many other family members have helped on the farm but were unable to be with us today. We also want to give a shoutout to our wonderful son, Nick, who built our website, set up our social media, and patiently answered all of my ‘dumb’ questions and fixed whatever I screwed up over the years.

We especially thank all our of wonderful customers and friends who have supported our farm over these past 15 years.

As we look forward to the next chapter in our lives, we want you to know we are deeply grateful for your support, loyalty, and friendship over the years. May your lives be filled with laughter, love, enjoyment and plenty of berries.

Hooray, blackberries (after an unexpected long delay) are finally ripe in abundance! The plants have been pruned so they are very easy to see and pick. Blueberry bushes are loaded with ripe berries just waiting for you to pick them. Raspberries are almost done although they are still out there if you look. Even have some strawberries (don’t look at the weeds 😊)

Our flowers are beautiful and colorful. Just imagine what they will look like in a vase of water in your home.

If you are interested in purchasing our berry plants, reservation forms are available in the farmstand or by emailing mary@raspberryknoll.com.

This week we are open Wednesday-Sunday from 9 am to 12 noon, Thursday we re-open from 4 to 6 pm. We hope to see you at the farm for our final week in business.

We will be closed from 4-6 pm on Thursday July 31 due to the heavy thunderstorms strongly predicted. Re-opening Friday morning at 9. See you at the farm soon.

We have plenty of blueberries for picking. Blackberries are available but tend to get picked out quickly. Check our phone message or Facebook page before coming for them. Messages will be updated each morning. Red raspberries are likely to be finished later this week or early next week.

Plenty of blooming flowers are available for cutting. Please come out and support the Alzheimer’s Association – 100% of flower sales go directly to the Alzheimer’s Association to support their ongoing research and many valuable programs for those impacted by Alzheimer’s /Dementia. Thank you in advance for your support.

We mentioned earlier this year that this is our last year in business. We are closing our business at 12 noon on Sunday August 10. We THANK YOU for your support over the years.

Going forward: Yes – we are retiring. No – our farm is not for sale. Yes – the land will stay in agriculture but not as a berry farm. We are selling all of our berry plants to our customers. Dig your own strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Blueberries will be dug for you. Berry plant reservation forms are available at our farmstand or by emailing mary@raspberryknoll.com. The form WILL NOT be available on-line.

We look forward to seeing you at the farm soon!

For this week, blackberries will be available for picking on Wednesday July 23, along with red raspberries, double gold raspberries (winding down), blueberries (bushes are loaded) and flowers (beautiful colors). If you are coming out specifically for blackberries, check our facebook page or our phone message first. I will update each morning. Raspberries and blueberries have been ripening quickly while blackberries have just been daudling – not sure why, but they taste GREAT!

We look forward to seeing you at the farm.

We are starting to pick blackberries on Wednesday July 16 – we expect to have them for a couple of weeks. Red raspberries are abundant, black and blush raspberries are still available although they are winding down. Blueberries are abundant and big. All 3 of our blueberry varieties are ripe. This is a great time to stock your freezer for all those delicious winter treats. We look forward to seeing you at the farm soon. Stay cool.

All raspberries were picked heavily on the 4th so picking on the 5th & 6th will be light to moderate. Abundant raspberry picking will return by Wednesday July 9. Blueberries are plentiful, sweet and big. Flowers are blooming and are beautiful – ready for your bouquet! Happy 4th of July holiday.

This has been an interesting year so far with berries ripening WAY ahead of schedule. Blueberries are ripe, sweet and big. Black raspberries are also ready for picking. We still have red raspberries and will have them until we close later this summer. Blackberries ARE NOT ready yet. (I know you were wondering). Bring your own picking containers or use ours. Flowers are blooming in the wild flower meadow, in the flower field next to it, and in the high tunnel next to the farmstand. Come on out and pick a beautiful bouquet. We will be open on the 4th of July from 9-12 noon. If we don’t see you this week, we hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend.

Red raspberries are now ripening. We still have strawberries for picking although they are winding down. We will be open Saturday June 21 from 9-11 for picking. There will be NO pre-picked berries in the farmstand on Saturday. Meadow flowers are blooming and a few of the annual flowers are beginning to bloom. These are available for cutting. All flower sale proceeds will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association in memory of my Mom, Jane Curtis, and in honor of my husband, Pete Concklin.

Beginning Wednesday June 25 we will be open for our normal summer hours: Wednesday 9-12, Thursday 9-12 and 4-6, Friday-Sunday 9-12. Closed Monday and Tuesday.

We will be open for strawberry picking on Saturday June 14 from 9-11 (or until we are picked out whichever comes first), Wednesday June 18 from 9-12, and Saturday June 21 from 9-11 (or until we are picked out whichever comes first). There will be NO pre-picked strawberries in the farmstand – sorry.

Our raspberry and blueberry plants are loaded with berries. We expect raspberries to be ready by the end of June and blueberries by early July – stay tuned. We will move to our regular hours at that time.

We look forward to seeing you at the farm.
