Update on Strawberry Upick

We will have our strawberry upick open (possibly one last day)at the Heavy Tree Road location this Tuesday, August 11th. Feel free to call ahead - 747-FARM. Depending on how many berries are left, we may not even be open for the entire day.

August 9th update - New produce, raspberry upick and corn maze

It's been a great summer and we are in full harvest swing! It has been a very good growing season and probably the best we've had.

Produce available now*:
  • Potatoes (Yukons, reds and white (Atlantic's))
  • Beets
  • Turnip (yellow)
  • Cabbage
  • Greens
  • Carrots
  • Green onions
  • Swiss Chard
  • Yellow and green zucchini
  • English cucumbers
  • Pickling cucumbers
  • Spinach
  • Lettuces (green leaf, red leaf, boston, romaine, iceburg, red french iceburg and green french iceburg)
  • Collards
  • Kale
  • Kohlrabi
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Snow Peas and Snap Peas
  • Red currants
  • Assorted herbs

Our RASPBERRY upick is also open now. We are hoping that this will be open for a couple of weeks.

All of the above are grown on our farm on Brookfield road. We do also carry a supply of imported fruits and vegetables that can't be grown in Newfoundland (although we wish we could) and of course we have our ice cream and petting barn.

Our famous CORN MAZE is also open for the year --- so drop by and get lost. :)

Note: *Keep in mind that our supply may be limited depending on the weather that particular day.
