Send Your Friends: Clean out these Berries before Frost Does
As we near October, we are seeing a decline in pickers and we have had plenty of tasty berries recently. We are starting to near a time in the season we called "borrowed time". This is the time of year when frost has not yet hit but it could any day so each additonal day of berries is a welcome treat. If you need to gather a few more tastes of summery goodness to enjoy fresh or bottle up in a jar stop on out. We are now open 7 days 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
2009 Picking Season Underway
We are currently open Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. or until picked clean as well as Saturday from 8:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. and Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The berries are nearing their peak for the season. If you would like a field update please call (517) 980-6634. Also if we have had rain on one of our normal open days please call as we will probably not need our closed for ripening days (M,W,F).

We are closed for the 2008 u-pick raspberry season. We expect to reopen late August 2009. If you are not already on our update list please drop us an e-mail at swallowtailfarm@gmail.com for 2009 farm updates. We do offer farm fresh eggs year round.
Raspberry Picking

We are open for u-pick sustainably grown raspberries from late-August through mid-October (depending on weather). We have just under 1 acre in raspberry production.
We provide pint containers for you to pick into and sell our u-pick berries for $2.75 per pint.
If we are not home, we operate on an honor system through our self-serve stand.
When you come to pick, please keep in mind, we are a real farm with bugs, bees, sunshine and bumps in the ground. We suggest you bring what you will need to be comfortable in these conditions.
