It has been yet again another busy day on the farm and the strawberries are going great. Due to the overwhelming amount of eager pickers, our Brookfield Road location will be closed until Tuesday. As for our Heavy Tree Road location, we are waiting to see what the berries will be like in the morning, so please call the market first.
The boys in the field have been kept very busy too. This morning they harvested a small amount of cauliflower, cabbage, and turnip. With their work, we are able to provide you with our fresh produce all summer long!
All the veggies are quickly maturing, and if this weather keeps up we will be able to completely fill our shelves over the next few weeks! So stay tuned for our crop updates this way you wont miss any of our new produce!

Hello Everyone!
It's hard to believe how fast this week has gone by! My how time goes by when you're always kept busy! The Brookfield Road u-pick had another great day with an amazing turn out of pickers, while the Heavy Tree Road location was closed today in order to replenish the berries for the days to come. Tomorrow morning we are hoping to have both locations opened, however it depends on the weather and the berries so we advise to call the market (747-3276) beforehand just to be sure. Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather and we hope to see you all coming out for a visit on the farm with the sun!
Keep an eye out for some of the upcoming photos of our past week on the farm! We will be posting them very soon!

Although it started off as a wet day, it turned out to be a beautiful day on the farm! The sun came out just in time for us to open both of our u-pick locations at noon, and with that we had a great turn out! We had pickers of all ages in the field today; some picking one quart while others picked over 6 full buckets! Wow! What a great start to our berry season!
Don’t forget to stop by this weekend to see our new produce, as well as our newly born baby bunnies! We also have our 6 pack annuals on for $2.00, so if you’re looking to add a little more color to your garden this is the perfect addition!
And that’s another day on the farm!

It’s been another great day here at the farm! Not only did we have our pickers pick over 320 quarts of berries, but we also had a busy first day at our u-pick on heavy tree road. We are proud to announce and we will be open at both our Heavy Tree Road location as well as our Brookfield Road location.
At our Brookfield Road location, we will be picking out of a brand new field! The berries in this field are an impressive size and one of our sweetest varieties. One of our friendly tractor drivers will take you on a 15 minute tractor ride through our fields of crops to get to our picking destination.
If you consider yourself to be a more serious picker and want to get the maximum amount of berries in the minimum amount of time we recommend our Heavy Tree Road location. This is because you can get from your car to our berry fields in no time. Please be advised that our Heavy Tree Road location is cash only, and both locations will be open 10-5, weather permitting and while quantities last.
One final note is that we will also be having white turnip starting this weekend!
Hope to see you all at the farm very soon!

We have exciting news!
With the help of the weather our plentiful crop of strawberries are ripening at a fast pace! Farmer Chris, one of the proud owners and one of our field experts, has informed us that our u-pick on Brookfield Road will be open this Wednesday, July 21. We have new fields of berries on this location, so come along for a tractor ride down to the u-pick and enjoy the farm surroundings which we get to see and enjoy every day!
Although the berries are ripening fast be sure to double check before you arrive at one of our locations to ensure that the u-pick will be going ahead for the day, as it depends on many factors early in the season such as the quantity of the berries and the weather.
That's it for now! Hope to see you in the strawberry fields!

Hi there everyone!
We are some of the proud workers at Lester’s Farm Market. Since we love working on the farm so much we figured that we would share with you the ongoing and upcoming events and crops that we get to endure each and every day!
Our 2010 season has had a bright beginning. So far we have an impressive variety of lettuces such as boston, french iceberg, iceberg, green leaf, two types of red leaf, as well as romaine. The sunny weather has also brought us veggies such as green onion, radishes, spinach, swiss chard, and local greens. For the first time this season we will be having a limited supply of our very own new potatoes starting this Saturday, July 24th!
We are proud to announce that our strawberry season has started, and we must say they are delicious! This year we have expanded our strawberry crops so there are plenty of berries to go around. Our u-pick on Heavy Tree Road will open 10am on Tuesday July 20th. As well our u-pick on Brookfield Road will open this Friday, July 23rd at 10am. Since it is still very early in the season our supply starting off will be limited. As a result, the u-pick will be open while quantities last so we advise you to call beforehand.
An “eggcelent” addition to our market this year is our homegrown, fresh brown eggs. They are carefully collected everyday to ensure that they maintain their scrumptious taste!
And as always we have our delicious ice cream with a wide variety of hard serve flavors, slushies to quench your thirst, and our unforgettable soft serve. We also have a selection of annuals, perennials, and shrubs so stop in and take a look around our garden center. And lastly but definitely not least, our animals in the petting barn are anxiously waiting for your visit! Come and see our animals such as Eeyore the donkey and Tetley the potbelly pig; they will keep you entertained all visit long!
So far it has been a busy, but exciting season. With fresh picked veggies served in a family environment with homegrown smiles there is always something to do on the farm! But it doesn’t stop there! So come along and visit us on the farm! Hope to see you all soon!
