Great Produce at a local farm!

During strawberry season we had guests that commented on what a great time the family had at the farm “over near Barneveld”. They had little kids and I bet they had fun picking and eating berries out in the sunshine. Just down the road you’ll find the Bures Berry Patch, sounds like a good plan.
