It was interesting to run across this entry as this was my family farm. It was in operation in the 70's, 80's and 90's. We had 8 acres of strawberries, 3 acres of raspberries and 7 acres of asparagus. The berries were primarily U-pick, and the asparagus was harvested by the family and employee's and sold in the shop. It was not uncommon to have 200 people picking berries each morning. Our hallmark was minimum use of chemicals and virtually weed free fields--achieved by almost endless weeding by hand. Thomas Clark who grew the crops was a master of balancing soil and consistently produced sweet, mold free fruit that was also free of the taste imparted by growing against various weed types. Of course he was my father, so I may be biased :-). All of the fields have been converted back to hay production--only the irrigation station and various scales remain at the farm as a reminder of fruit production. But if you read this, look up another local berry farm in Michigan, a state which produces some of the finest berries, cherries and peaches in the Nation.
