Fenton's Berry Farm
Updated April 16, 2025
SPRING 2025 UPDATE:
Fenton's Berry Farm is the area's premier producer of locally grown berries!
Seasonal dates vary year to year due to weather and other factors. See below for current info.
STRAWBERRIES!
As I type this (4/13/25) we currently have LOADS of green strawberries in the field, just waiting for more sunshine and warm days to ripen, sweeten, and jump in a bucket for YOU!
OUR RECOMMENDATION: START WATCHING OUR FACEBOOK PAGE
REGULARLY, AS WE WILL POST DAILY THROUGHOUT THE PICKING
SEASON TO INFORM YOU OF THE DAY-TO-DAY PLAN.
ALSO: We have a text list to whom we will also send regular updates. Please put BOTH our phone numbers in your phone! The farm's regular cell number is (870) 741-6871. OUR TEXT ONLY NUMBER IS (866) 948-0698. This is NOT a spam number! It is a dedicated texting line for Fenton's Berry Farm. Add us to your contacts and watch for messages from us!
BLUEBERRIES & BLACKBERRIES
Our blueberry season usually runs from early/mid-June to mid-July. For a change we didn't get whacked by a freeze when they were in full bloom (still happening now!) and we expect to have a bumper crop!
Blackberries follow closely on the heels and/or overlap blueberry season. They are not in bloom yet, but we hope for a great crop of those also!
RASPBERRIES
These beauties became available for u-pick last spring, and this year should be even better. Watch for them in mid-May or so. Please note: Due to the fragility of the berries and the presence of stickers, we do not allow children under age 12 to pick raspberries.
In 2022, we sold our Farm Market property that we had out on Highway 7. We have remodeled a section of one of our big pole barns ON the farm, located in the (slightly) downhill end or the "Bottom of the Barn," and so we call it The BoB. :) Pickup for pre-ordered blueberries and blackberries will be from The BoB, and this fall we should have a new batch of hens starting to lay lovely brown farm-fresh eggs, which will become available to you as well.
I (Veronica) hold my crafting classes in The BoB on occasion. See my Art Classes page in the menu above for more info on that, or get in touch and I'd be happy to discuss it with you!
FINALLY: We want to thank each and every one of you for your loyalty and friendship. We SO appreciate the relationships we have grown with our customers over the past 22-and-counting years! We hope to continue those relationships well into the future, and we hope you'll keep us foremost in mind as your provider of the BEST fresh berries available in the area.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Clyde & Veronica Fenton
Since 2020, we have done strawberry u-pick by appointment only, and we no longer take orders for picked strawberries. This season, we are planning to make the whole strawberry season First Come, First Served U-Pick Only. This is due to the excessive amount of time required to make phone calls, set up picking appointments, reschedule due to cancellations, no shows, and weather issues... Lol We have created a monster that must be tamed!
Strawberry season runs from mid/late April through much or all of May. It is the Most unpredictable season of all the berries we grow, and requires a great deal of flexing from day to day based on the weather and picking conditions. So go RIGHT NOW and follow our Facebook page, then engage with a few posts (ie Like, Comment and/or Share) to tell the FB algorithm you WANT to see our posts!
Currently:
When the season is in progress, this box will contain the current
picking status, hours, &/or the next day we expect to be open.
