Welcome to Border Country Berries

2026

Tuesday evening update:

If you have not read the post from Monday evening, then I urge you to do that and then factor in the rest of this post.

The weather forecast for Wednesday, Aug 26, really hasn't improved at all. Even so, I'll be at the farm ready to open at 9:30a and we'll just see what the conditions are then. If an update is needed I'll try to post from there and I'll update the phone greeting.

Monday evening:

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST AS IT DESCRIBES THE END OF HARVEST.

On Tuesday, Aug 25, due to another obligation the farm will open for picking at 12:00. Closing at the usual 6:30. Weather for Tuesday looks fantastic.

On Wednesday, the 26th, the weather forecast is dismal so I may play that one kind of by ear, but my inclination is to be open if reasonable to do so.

On Thursday, the 27th, I expect to have normal hours (9:30-6:30) if picking conditions support that; and the forecast is sunny. The 2026 harvest at the farm will end at closing time on Thursday, unless conditions indicate sooner.

Starting at open on Tuesday promotional pricing will be in effect through harvest's end. If you pick and purchase a full bucket at regular price, the second bucket of equal size can be picked and purchased at half-price.

Hope to see you in these last few days!

Re payment methods: I don’t accept cards at the farm as the signal is weak and processing electronic payment has been unreliable. Cash works well as does a local check. Local is defined as originating in one of the following counties: Chippewa, Luce, Alger, Schoolcraft, Mackinac, Emmett, Cheboygan.
