Pick-Your-Own Special & Other News From the Farm!

Share

We are excited to announce a pick-your-own special that will last through the end of the 2014 season here at Chautauqua Hills Farm.

Click here for more information on Pick Your Own!

We recently sent out an email newsletter with more pictures and news from the farm. If you haven’t read it, you can take a few moments to check it out here.

It’s a lot of fun to pick berries with your friends, and you may actually find it quite relaxing to be out in the country, hearing the birds and the breeze, as you fill up your buckets with tasty berries like some of our Berry Good Friends (below) did.

The berries are still doing great, and the weather this year (rainy and cooler — rather nice for mid-July!) has meant a slower ripening time, which means a longer season! We still have plenty of berries from both of your favorite varieties for you to pick.

Come join us at Chautauqua Hills Farm. You’ll be glad you did.

Welcome back, our Berry Good Friends!

It’s been a while since we’ve posted here on the blog, but we’ve been (yes, Cage and the bees have been too) as busy as ever! We opened our 2014 season this past week, so stay tuned for more frequent updates over the summer.

If you’d like to catch up on the latest happenings on the farm, here are the latest three email newsletters for your reading pleasure. We just sent out the latest one yesterday, with lots of information about how to order for pick up or schedule a picking reservation at the farm. If you haven’t subscribed to the newsletter, we’d sure love it if you would sign up!

Facebook is also a great way to stay in touch with us. We post a little more frequently there, sharing a variety of content from pictures taken at the farm to links to recipes, articles, and products we’ve found helpful here at Chautauqua Hills Farm. One example is a picture we shared there of the berries at the end of May:

As you can see, the blueberries are looking great (they’re ripe now, and we’ll be posting some pics of them in upcoming posts). We look forward to seeing you at the farm, and hope you’ll share another amazing summer with us!

2013 Season Underway – Berries Looking and Tasting Great!

Dear Berry Good Friends,

The Chautauqua Hills Farm season is now officially underway!

We began picking Blueberries on June 19th. Here’s a picture of the blueberries we were picking. Pretty yummy!

Pick Your Own

The season will be extended this year into July 17th for both Blueberries and Blackberries due to the later ripening of all the berries.

Be sure and check out the Calendar for new available dates and then make your Pick Your Own Reservations here.

Order & Pick Up

Now that we have berries ripening up in quantity, we’ll begin picking next week for our Order & Pick Up customers. We’ll let you know when we have your berries available for pick up at Food For Thought.

If you’d like to place an order, click here to read more about Order & Pick Up and place your order.

Order & Pick Up at the Farm

In response to our Berry Good Friends in the surrounding towns closer to the farm, we’re now offering Order & Pick Up directly at the farm.

If it’s more convenient for you to purchase pre-picked blueberries and pick them up directly from the farm, send us an email here or call us at 620.249.3369. We’ll take your order and coordinate a day for pick up at the farm.

Blackberries

We expect the Blackberries will begin to ripen up in quantity near the end of June and continue for at least 2 weeks after that. Keep in mind the Blackberries need to be picked when ripe and they don’t last near as long on the vines.

We’re looking forward to getting everyone their Chautauqua Hills Farm berries this year!

The Berries Are Comin’! The Berries Are Comin’!

The blueberries continue to ripen up nicely – we just wish they’d hurry up! We’re ready and we know you’re all ready! Last year we were already picking at this time, but this year looks to be a normal schedule where we begin to see the berries ripening up here in mid-June. Now, we just have to wait for enough to ripen to make picking fun and enjoyable!

These pictures show just how many berries we have on the bushes!

It looks like the picking will be getting underway next week. If you haven’t already made your reservations or placed your order, now’s the time!

Note: For everyone who’s placed online orders with us, we’ll be filling your orders as soon as we have enough ripe berries!

May 22: Farm Update – Blueberries A Few Weeks Out!

Here’s an updated picture of the Blueberries. They’re coming along nicely! We were fortunate to have the recent series of storms drop lots of rain on us while avoiding the hail.

As indicated in our last update, it’s looking like the first available blueberries will be in the first or second week of June – which isn’t far away!

Our Priority Customers were sent an email earlier today with an update, so be sure and check your inbox for that! (If you’ve been to the farm or ordered from us before, you’re on the Priority Customer list.)

We’ll be opening up the Calendar in about 1 week for all other Pick Your Own Reservations.

We look forward to seeing our Berry Good Friends again this year!
