Raspberry season is over for the year. Pears are expected to ripen second week of August followed by our sprayfree apples in September and October. Please check back if you are interested in these. We will offer prepicked heirloom tomatoes in August/September as well.
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.
Due to the shutdown of the Covid19, we do not have Farmer’s Market in Henderson on Tuesday Nights at this time. However, hopefully, in a couple months we will be able to set up again. Meanwhile, I continue to do custom baking for anyone that wishes to buy bread or other goods.
Pears should come in August. Apples in September and October. All spray free.
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.
I have left up our summer photos for you to enjoy. Please check back with us this summer for raspberries, pears and later apples. Thank you.

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.
