In 1984 a friend encouraged us to farm raspberries. Dad said it would be fun, so we entered into raspberry farming with 2 acres of hand picked fruit. We soon increased our raspberry acreage to 25. A mechanical harvester was welcomed by us girls. ( Thank Goodness!) By 1987 we were having so much fun that we planted 2 1/2 acres of blueberries and now there are 20. The fun never stops, so we expanded with U-pick farming of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. You can also purchase our fresh picked corn. We also have fresh market stands on the Guide Meridian and Pole Road, Guide Meridian and Smith Road and Lee's Restaurant on Alabama and James St. And also on the Smith Rd 1/2 way between the Guide and Hanagan.
Yes, things have changed around here over all the years. Dad looks a lot older but is much wiser. Jess and I (Jana), both ran away from home. (Only kidding.) We grew up and flew the coop. Jessica married Ben Elenbaas, they have 2 boys and a girl, Hunter, Christopher and Remington.

Jana married Gordy Logan and we have two boys, Andrew and Dawson.
Dad was right, this is a lot of FUN!
