Barthel Fruit Farm has a whole array of scrumptious delights on offer.

“In mid-June our berry harvest begins. The season usually lasts three to four weeks, dependent on the weather. All of our strawberries are sold on a Pick Your Own basis.  Hours during strawberry season can change daily.  This is due to the weather and how quickly the strawberries ripen. 

Please call us before driving out to confirm our hours for that day. Some tips on picking …Pick by pinching the stem of the berry between your thumb and forefinger. This will prevent damage to both the fruit and the strawberry plant. Leaving the caps on helps your strawberries last longer. When selecting berries look for the ones that are as red and fully ripe as possible. Green or white tipped ones will have little flavor.  Strawberries become dull and dark when they are overripe.”

When you visit Barthel Fruit Farm be sure to treat yourself to something sweet in the bakery.

“Our bakery is filled with homemade treats that incorporate what is ripe and in season on our farm. In the fall our menu consist of Apple cider donuts, Apple streusel muffins, Apple cinnamon scones, Mini pumpkin cheesecakes, Mini apple crisp, Apple cider slush and more!”
