“We took our toddler for the last day to pick your own strawberries today and although there were few large strawberries left we still had fun. Their strawberries are grown without the use of pesticides so the field has many weeds and wildflowers throughout but the rows of strawberries are easy to navigate. The price is also much more reasonable than other pick your own farms that charge double the price plus a picking/field fee. The produce store had fresh strawberries and vegetables and jams and plants, but not much else if you are looking for baked goods or other gift type items you won't find them there. We will definitely return next year, but I recommend not waiting until the end of the picking season.”

“The best experience we could have possibly had picking strawberries! And with a toddler! We found so many berries. They don’t use pesticides so I felt comfortable about him eating a few off the plant. You don’t get the crowd and tons of kids and distractions like other places. No field fees, just pay for what you pick! Close parking. A small, real working farm feel. And cute little store and lots of greenhouses with flowers! We will definitely be back in a couple weeks for blackberries and peaches. It’s the best kept secret ever! It’s also relatively close to STL. It’s going to be our yearly tradition all season long”

“I went today with my uncle Luke and got some okra, tomatoes, potatoes, and some bread and butter jalapeños. Everything was so delicious once we got back and ate. I just loved their set-up. They offer a variety of produce. She is always so kind to my uncle and even helps him carry his watermelons (when in season) to the car. Farm fresh is always best!!”
