Berry Update
With the help of our community members & even a few far away berry pickers, we were able to reach our yearly quota for chokecherries. We will no longer be accepting anymore chokecherries after Monday, August 15th at 3pm. Miigwech to all who have made this berry season successful so far. Keep your eyes on wild plums & crabapples, as we will be paying cash, same day, on site, for those fruits once they are ripe. Any questions? Please contact us at (218) 679-2611.
