2026 Double R Strawberries Special Announcement
We are closed for the season.
Our plants just didn't produce this year. In speaking with other growers, we found that they had difficulties too.
We spoke with the nursery where we bought our plug plants. They spoke with a long-time strawberry specialist and researcher on our behalf. The consensus is that the extended frigid temperatures in January were just too much. They basically sterilized the plants.
This really disappointed us, because we know it disappointed you. We hope you took the chance to visit some of our friends for your strawberries.
Know Before You Go
We want to make sure you have a great visit to our farm. Please keep a few things in mind:
- There is no shade in the strawberry patch. That's how we get great berries. Think about picking early and late in the day. You will keep cooler and the berries will keep better.
- If you plan to pick a lot of Double R berries, bring a drink to keep hydrated.
- Remember to dress appropriately. Hats and sunscreen are always in fashion.
- Pick only the RED berries. The orange ones or the red ones with green tips are not quite ripe yet. Once picked, the berries will get redder, but not any sweeter.
- Strawberry picking is a great family project. Please remember to keep children with you while you pick. There are many cars coming and going. Some people don't think to watch for small children.
- If our are bringing the family, bring the camera too. Capture those great family moments on film.
- While you are welcome to bring your human family members, please leave your pets at home. Our own critters and other guests may not be as pet-friendly as we are.
- Even though we plan to open at 8 a.m. Monday through Saturday, we may close early if the field is picked out for the day. Don't forget to call ahead if you plan to come late in the day.
- We accept Cash, Good Checks, and Major Credit Cards.
- If you share your experience in social media, please tag us.
- Have Fun!
