Hi, We're Kristina and Mark, and we are excited to have you and your family or friends out to the farm this spring. 

Come get your hands stained with berry juice and enjoy a beautiful sunset about five minutes west of Iowa City on Highway 1 SW. 

Many hands make light work and we hope as you pick your own strawberries you meet new friends and have great conversations across the row.

​Almost everyone loves a good strawberry, especially when you pick it yourself!
Berry Picking Hours:
During the June strawberry harvest we hope to be open from 9 in the morning until 5 at night but weather (and how quickly all the ripe berries get picked) will dictate when we need to close each day.  That's why it's especially important to check the top of this website (Next Picking Opportunity) before coming over.

​Sundays we'll open in the afternoon only if there are still ripe berries after Saturday's picking and we may open some evenings for those of you who work late.  Always check the top of the website before coming - we'll post as soon as we know that we'll need to close each day.
Parking and Where to Go:
In the past we've had an East and a West patch and alternated daily.  This year we'll just be picking on the West side of the parking area.. The West patch is hidden behind the trees a bit but follow the parked cars and you'll find a check in/out shed there.  An arrow on a sign will help guide you - there are no berries up by the house.

This little patch is great! The plants were well taken care of and looked very healthy. Mark was super accommodating and a great host. He helped us pick our fruit as well. Went with my parents and 2 year old and we all had a great time. The fruit itself was super sweet and we made a pie afterwards. Will definitely come again next year!

My family and I had such a pleasant time at The Berry Basket Farm last week. The attractive signage and the walk down the winding mulch path through the trees to the berry patch made for a great first impression. We were welcomed and set up with a row of berries ready for the picking. Even my 2-year-old got in on the fun as she plopped ripe berries into her small tin pail! We will be back next year!

​I visited the farm earlier this week with my two boys, ages 6 and 2. We had a wonderful time! Farmer Mark was helpful and directed us to the best picking areas. My boys loved the little walk through the trees to get to the strawberries, and using the baskets to pick the fruit. We brought a picnic lunch and had a wonderful morning. We will definitely be back!
