| Welcome to the Straight River Farm web site |
| -- Farm to table fruit -- Faribault, Minnesota |
Welcome to Straight River Farm -- strawberries, apples, and
raspberries from the farm to your table. We are located in Faribault,
Minnesota, just south of the Twin Cities of St. Paul & Minneapolis.
Our strawberries are available to pick your own or to buy picked from
June through early July. Check the picking link for more
information about picking strawberries, and the strawberry page
for more information about strawberries in general. We also have a
limited amount of rhubarb available during strawberry season. The
rhubarb is picked fresh each morning & available on a first-come,
first-served basis until it's gone.
We have 5 acres of apple trees with 10 varieties, and more varieties
on the way. The apple page has more information about each of
them. However, we do not offer pick-your-own apples. We
currently only sell apples at farmers' markets, although we hope to
open an on-site store on weekends in 2010. The markets we attend
will be listed on the apple page during apple season -- late August
through mid-November each year.
Our small summer raspberry patch usually opens for picking about
July 1 -- just as the strawberries are finishing. The raspberry page
gives updated picking information as it's available.
Bill likes to mix in something new & different most years. In 2010,
he'll be trying tomatoes raised in a high tunnel environment. He
hopes to have tomatoes for sale during strawberry season!
Shiitake mushrooms were the new crop last year. They should flush
for a time in May and then again starting around Labor Day. If
mushrooms are your thing, please ask us about them.
