2025 STRAWBERRY CROP UPDATE
If you haven’t heard, strawberry farmers across the United States are faced with a MASSIVE shortage of healthy plants. Last August, we were just days from taking delivery of 8 acres of strawberry plants, only to be informed, like thousands of other farms, that healthy plants were not available to us. We knew instantly that accepting unhealthy plants was not an appropriate decision given that we would be unable to grow them the Blooms & Berries way. For this reason, we don’t believe we will offer U-Pick this Spring. It was, and is, heartbreaking as our community, our team and our family count on the strawberry crop each spring.
THE GOOD NEWS – PRE-PICKED STRAWBERRIES
Our Friend Brent Cornett in London Kentucky is a lucky farmer who received some healthy strawberry plants and is partnering with us to supply gorgeous buckets of strawberries. You can pre-order strawberries for this weekend and we expect to have pre-picked berries for pre-order as we are able through the month of May. Our Farm & Garden Center remain open daily and we invite you to visit us this week!
THE GREAT STRAWBERRY RETURN
We have 125,000 plants due to arrive in August & September for our 2026 crop. Our whole team is crazy excited to get strawberries growing again on our farm! Stay on this text list to be the first to know about our 2026 crop next Spring!
U-Pick Blackberries, Blueberries, Sugar Snap Peas, Potatoes & Fresh Produce all look really good. If you are not on each of these text lists, you can sign up for each crop at www.BloomsAndBerries.com. (Sugar Snap Pea text list pending)
Thank you for your support of our Family Farm, we’re excited for blue skies ahead!

FAQ’s
Our Berries are not 100% organically produced. However, we use many natural practices on our farm, and we grow our berries with your family and our children in mind knowing that safety is our highest priority.
Our crop looks good but picking conditions change daily with the weather and picking pressure. Please always check this page for up-to-date picking conditions.
Picking dates are determined by the crop, weather, and several other factors. We usually know picking dates and times only a day or so before we pick as strawberries are fragile and ripening can be difficult to predict in advance.
We love dogs, but we cannot allow them in our U-pick field for food safety reasons. Please leave your pets at home for this farm visit.
