at the Princeton Farmers market this weekend.
Raspberries will be available on July 9th. (they
get picked over fast so first come)

The reminder postcards were mailed
on June 24th.
There is some construction on Hwy 169, some of the
ramps are closed. Please check MN511 to get the latest

Important Information: if coming to pick, we recommend that
you come at least 45 minutes prior to closing, as we do close on the
