Our Strawberry Patch

Picture
Come out and enjoy our mouthwatering summertime treats.  The season is not very long, about three weeks depending on mother nature, so don't wait too long to join the fun at Govin's Farm. Here at Govin's we make strawberry picking a family event. We have rides to and from the patch and love to see the families year after year making it a tradition to come out and pick. We have both u-pick and pre-picked strawberries available and we provide you with containers to pick into at no charge.

​Here at Govin's, we pick into flats (about 12 lbs.) which is equal to about 2 buckets of berries. Picking into a flat lets the berries spread out and breath better.  The old myth of berries are done by the 4th of July is not true, some years they are just getting a good start.  Call the Berry hotline 715-231-2377 and we will be more than happy to give you an update on the strawberries. 
We started out strawberry patch in the spring of 2002 by planting 3 acres (about 20,000) plants of strawberries.  In the summer of 2002, the plants started to form blossoms.  At that time you remove all the blossoms so the plants don't bare fruit.  By doing this the plants conserve energy which allows them to grow stronger in their first year of life.  We now have six acres of strawberries.
In the fall, after the ground  is slightly frozen we cover the berry plants with straw to keep the plants safe  from the cold.  The straw that is applied in the fall is removed the following spring and used for mulch and weed control in between the rows, this also conserves the soil moisture. Now that the berry plants are uncovered they start to develop new leaves and form blossoms.  This time you let the blossoms develop into strawberries.  About 21 days after blossoms start, the fruit is ready for picking.
