Our family has been farming at Parkside Farm since 1938. Although we no longer keep cows, we still have some grassland and some fields of wheat and other crops. We started growing strawberries for Pick Your Own back in 1979. Since then, we have made the Pick Your Own area larger and we now grow about 20 different crops.
