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!
