Flyte Family Farm Updates

We are now open for strawberry picking. Things are in full swing with beautiful berries everywhere! Open daily 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. See you in the patch!

Our hopes to open on June 18th have been altered due to good ol’ Mother Nature. With cooler weather and rain in the forecast our berries aren’t ripening quickly. In the long run this is a good thing. It means we will have more berries over the course of more time. I anticipate peek to be during the week of June 27th. Thank you for your continued patience and as always….Have a Berry Great Day!

I can’t believe it is that time again. Looks like our strawberries are almost ready to debut. We HOPE to open on Saturday, June 18th with limited picking. This could change if we get the rain they are predicting for the next three days. Please check back or call our berry Hotline (715) 228-2304 for updates. Looking forward to a GREAT season.

Thanks you to another great season here on the Flyte Family Farm We look forward to another great season in 2011. Bed renovation has already began. You are sure to like the new walking paths in the strawberries. Our newest blueberry bed will also be ready for picking. This means more berries, more picking, more days we will be open! Also, keep your eye out for our new dry bean page. Sure to your favorite just like me.

It has been a short and sweet blueberry season here on our farm. Looks like Friday Aug. 7th will be the last day for picking of any kind. Do not come on the 4th of August and expect to find many as they are just turning and need time! Cooler weather and a bumper crop are to blame for the poor season. Next year should be great!

The Flyte Family Farm strawberry patch will be open through the Fourth of July weekend. It looks like that will just about wrap up our season as the berries are getting small and sparse.
