Apples are ramping up. We have 2nds left on Chestnut crabs but other varieties are a week or so away from picking. They include Liberty, Journey apples, 4 unknown varieties and the famous Honey Crisp and Haralson will be available later in September. Ask about our windfalls for animals, as well. Most apple varieties are $2 a pound. Please remember, when growing without chemical pesticide sprays, these other methods are not 100% pest free. We do our best to eliminate these pests with sticky traps and vingar traps, but still bugs happen.
For our special video made of our apple crop, please check Cherith Farms on the Facebook Page.
We are producing more eggs then before as we took in rescue birds that were being slaughtered in Iowa due to the covid 19 shutdowns of egg processing. These birds came to me nearly starved and dehydrated. Thankfully, after two months of rehab, these birds are up and running and we have many eggs to offer, free of antibiotics and hormones.
Farmer’s market has resumed in Henderson, MN on Tuesday nights from 5-7:30. Fresh fruits and vegetables are available there as well as fresh baked goods which is what you will find at our stand. Don’t forget to check out the Salsa lady with her many exotic flavors of hot and spicy salsa. Free samples are available. Also, check out the classic cars which roll in here each Tuesday night.
We also do custom baked goods. My specialty is whole wheat bread made with fresh ground organic wheat, oatmeal, honey and real butter. I can bake almost anything! If you have something in mind for a party or graduation, please contact me and we can figure something out.
We are a licensed cottage food industry with the State of MN and are not subject to their inspections.

Do you have strawberries for picking yet? Can I bring 2 8 year olds to help pick?
Thanks Lu

Hi Luann, Thanks for inquiring about strawberries. Back in 2014 we had a bad flood and it basically killed off all my strawberry plants. I made the decision not to replant and to focus instead on raspberries. They, too, took a hit from flood waters, but we are on the come back with those. They will be ready for picking the last week of June. Kids are welcome to come. Thank you for your interest. Susan Mecredy, Cherith Farms.

We will be having our raspberry run in a couple weeks. Usually last week of June to first week of July. Peaches I don’t grow here but there is a Peach delivery in New Prague on June 26 at noon at Ace Hardware. They are brought up from Georgia and I buy a crate each year. They are EXCELLENT. I believe it is Willow Fruit company.
