Good morning! 

Reminder about times: 

We're open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3 - 7pm. There are lots of deep red berries out in the field that need to be picked! 

Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday we plan to be open from 8 - 7pm but check back with us.

Enjoy this day, everyone! 

Picking time!

What a glorious day! The sunshine has just been pumping the berries full of redness and sweetness!

We will be open for picking tomorrow, Monday, June 20th, from 1 - 7pm. 

But we want you to know that it will be lighter picking until Wednesday. If you're hoping to pick larger quantities in one swoop we highly recommend waiting until next weekend, when the abundance of berries currently half-way there will be delightfully crimson! 

If you come with your own containers please be sure to weigh them prior to picking! The scale will be set up under the barn bay. Then come on out to the field and you'll find us working hard in the garden! 

Any questions? Leave a comment, email us, or call and leave a message! 

Happy picking! 

A few more days...

Hey there, Strawberry lovers!

The earlier berries - Wendy and Sable - are coming along but aren't ripe for picking yet. They need a couple more days to get there. We hope to open this Monday, June 20th but please check back to make sure. If you're traveling from a distance it's probably a good idea to wait till peak picking time - likely to be around June 25th, but again please check back to confirm since these things can be unpredictable!

Have a great weekend and we hope to see you next week!

Strawberry Picking 2011

Just a few more days and these strawberry beauties will be ready for picking! It isn't as early a season as we had last year but the berries will no doubt be just as sweet. Keep checking the blog for fun posts, pictures, and more info. We're hoping they'll be ready by the weekend or early next week. In the meantime, think SUN!

This year's hours of operation will be:
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday        8 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday              3 p.m. - 7 p.m.

But remember to check back here or call us at 207.946.2091 in case the strawberry plants need a day or so to rest and ripen after busy picking!

See you soon!

The Great Berry Year of 2010!

We were lucky to have a great first year at Ridgeside Farm - the strawberries were early, abundant, and incredibly sweet. It was so much fun sharing that time with all of you and we can't wait 'til the berries are ready this year!
