About Berryland-farm
Berryland Farms is a family-owned and operated hobby farm.
Purchased in 2003 by Rick and Nancy Merkel as a home for a lone Arab gelding
named Casper, the farm has grown and flourished into the family-friendly
endeavor it is today. Come visit us and enjoy Berryland Farm as much as we do.
From June until December, there are a wide variety of
“picking” crops available. Beginning in June-July, blueberries, raspberries, and
other fruits such as cherries and plums are ripe and ready to go. Then the farm
transitions into apple season; depending on which variety you are interested in,
picking begins in late August and runs until the heavy snow arrives.
The
Berryland Family
When you visit us, here are a few suggestions /guidelines:
- When you enter, drive slowly, there are always kids
and animals around.
- There are always fruits available for sale in our
store.
- As we have several small grandchildren, kids are
always welcome, provided they have the correct amount of supervision. We are not
liable for injury and reserve the ability to “guide” any way-ward or misbehaving
children…much like our own grandkids.
- Bathroom facilities are limited and can be quite a
distance from the activity.
- Taste-Testing is encouraged…how will you know how many
wonderful fruits to pick?
- You are welcome to bring your own picking containers;
otherwise we will provide them for you. In an effort to insure we always have
enough containers, your berries will go home in a bag or box.
- If your container is bigger than you thought and you
pick more than you want don’t worry, we will keep any excess product and sell it
in our store.
- Although there are horses on the property, they are
not for riding by the general public and visitors must stay out of their
pastures. We are not responsible for any injuries that may occur regarding the
horses. They do, however, love attention and food.
-Tours and groups are welcomed and encouraged.
-Please call ahead to ensure the experience is
exactly what you want it to be. Many a senior citizen or school group has had
the Berryland Farm experience and we have many satisfied customers. Although we
will work to meet your needs, and take into account the time of year, your visit
may include any of the following:
Come for a family outing and enjoy the farm,
and the picking. Show your kids where apples and other fruit really come
from. Not just from bags at the grocery store. Come and have a "berry nice
time"
