Dean and Judy Henry realized a dream by establishing the Berry Patch Farm in the early 1970s. Today you’ll see Judy at the markets, Dean on the tractors, and their son Mike at the stand and picking the freshest harvest. Throughout the Berry Patch you’ll see the personal touches of each individual involved. We grow strawberries, raspberries, vegetables, apples, and more. You can get Berry Patch goodies from the farm, at markets, and through CSAs (community supported agriculture). The Berry Patch

We are accidental farmers. We started out attempting to get an abandoned pocket park cleaned up and updated.
