One of our favorite apple orchards, farm stand, and art store to visit every fall! 🍎🍯🎨

And Craig is one of our favorite long-time strawberry pickers! 🍓

Stop in and see Craig and Kim this weekend. They have so many beautiful, hand-crafted items to choose from—cutting boards and pottery to homemade jams and honey and so much more. 🎄 It’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas shopping! 🎁

Craig and Kim have something for everyone, so be sure to stop by and check out all they have to offer!

Wowza - Summer should get a speeding ticket - it’s Labor Day weekend already!

We have 🍎 ZESTAR 🍎apples (fresh picked but limited quantity), honey butter, restocked jam, pickles and salsa. Of course, there’s still “one-of-a kind” pottery, cutting boards and other goodies.

We’d love to be a part of your weekend and hope you’ll stop by. Our hours are Fri, Sat & Sun 9-4 - we will be closed Monday.

🌱 From planting day to today! 🍓

These pictures show the progress of our new Annapolis and AC Wendy strawberry planting at our Bakker Road field.

We started planting on May 10—Mother’s Day—and today, August 26, it’s amazing to see how much these plants have grown!

Since planting, we’ve put in hundreds of hours of work—de-blossoming, fertilizing, irrigating, rock picking, hand weeding numerous times, cultivating, and setting runners.

And we’re not done yet! We'll continue to irrigate, fertilize and pull weeds and in November, we’ll cover the plants with straw to protect them through the winter. ❄️🌾

A lot of work goes into establishing a new strawberry field, long before there’s a berry to pick! 🍓❤️

May 10 ➡️ August 26 — 3½ months of growth and hard work!

Check out Romportl Farms Feed Supply and see what they have to offer. We love seeing family farms grow, diversify, and create new opportunities while continuing to serve their local communities.

Be sure to give them a look and support another family-owned business! 🐄🌾🐓🐖
