Edible Pod Peas
Mid-June to Early July
We grow the eatable pod peas. We plant 3 different times so there will be ripe peas during the strawberry season.
When picking peas it is important to made sure that you do not pick them too small or too large. You should be able to feel the pea in the pod and if it is overripe the pod will start to turn white.
The peas are located by the strawberries fields. There will be a little trailer with pails to pick the peas in and you can wander the field picking the peas. We will have flags between the plantings that have the ripest peas at the time. Once you are done picking peas you can take them into the garage for checkout where we will put them in a plastic bag to weigh them. The u-pick peas are the same price as u-pick strawberries.
We don’t pick pre-pick peas for sale.
Cucumbers

Cucumbers are a vine plant that grow from mid-July until frost. We grow both slicing and pickling varieties.
We DO NOT sell special order small pickling cucumbers for canning.
These cucumbers are great for making pickles, salads or as a snack.
Zucchini

We grow both green and yellow zucchini. We sell all sizes for all of your different zucchini needs.
They are great in a stir fry or in some type of bread or cake.
Potatoes

We grow both Yukon Gold and a red variety and sell them in 4lb. bags.
Peppers
August to Frost
We grow many different varieties of peppers. Green bell is our main variety and if you leave these peppers on the vine they will eventually turn a nice red color.
These peppers are great for stuffing and add a lot of flavor and color to many different dishes!
We also grow long yellow, orange, and red peppers that are very sweet.
For those who like a little spice in their food, we grow jalapeno peppers. They are great in salsa and for adding a little kick to any dish.
Tomatoes
Mid-August to Frost
We grow all of our tomatoes outside in the ground.
Due to the popularity of our tomatoes, we don’t always have a constant supply. We typically sell canning tomatoes by the 1/2 bushel in late August and early September. If interested please call 715-285-5351
We do not normally have green tomatoes available, but they can be special ordered.
Muskmelon
Early August to Early September
They are only available for about a month and do not ripen until late summer, but they are worth the wait.
Some people refer to muskmelon as cantaloupe but they are essentially the same fruit.
Melons can be one of the harder fruits to select because you do not know what is inside. If you want a melon to eat the same day, select one with a yellow rind. If you are waiting to cut it for a couple of days, select one that is a little green. Melons will ripen on the counter.

We grow both seedless and seeded watermelons for sale. We also have three shapes and colors for our seedless melons. We have a long striped, a round striped, and a round black melon available. These three different types have similar tastes.
