STRAWBERRY UPDATE - BIG M BERRY PATCH WILL BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY MAY 24, 2026 - We had a large volume of strawberry pickers on Saturday. We gleaned most of the patch but there are a couple of areas we may try to pick again in a couple of days. If we can see that we have enough berries to pick, we will post an update on this page. Follow and check this FB page for daily updates. See attached photos of some of our customers on Saturday 5/23/2026. The berries are smaller and not very plentiful but most customers were able to pick some quality berries.
