nice people and always take the time to talk to everyone that comes there. The
strawberries are great and fun to pick. I love the pumpkins in the fall
season, they are everywhere and great for picture taking. The kids get to play
on a bouncy castle apple while the parents are busy looking for Fall goodies.
The kids ask to go every year, and we do."
UPDATE May 27, 2008 from a visitor: "We picked
strawberries at the Cline Farm last week. They are definitely in business!
Blueberries are expected the last week in June."
UPDATE April 2, 2008 from a visitor: "I live a few miles
from the farm and click on this site to get the phone number when I need it.
Yes, last year was very sad after strawberry season. Frost got the
blueberries and the water restrictions imposed by the drought got everything
else. However, I just called to check on the strawberry progress. Yes, they
really answered the phone! They are still in business and are expecting
their strawberries the first week of May. As long as we don't get a killing
frost between now and mid-May, the blueberries should be fine. Rainfall
amounts will determine how the fall crops will turn out. We are still in
Mandatory Stage 3 water restrictions around here. Folks just need to call
before they make the drive.
