JULY 7, 2021
Our Raspberry season was a flash in the pan. Due to hot weather and drought we have a few berries that have been picked and a few more that could be picked but not a lot. We are no longer open with general hours of picking but by appt only.
This is what we have in the field today.
We are looking at our tomato crop for our next thing to market other than the baked goods that we do at farmers market. Those will be ready probably late August.
We are offering more baked goods by special order now. We are an official MN Cottage Industry and certified to sell from our home or Farmer’s Market.
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.
