Van Laeken Farms is a 5 generation farm located in Ridgefield, Washington. Serving the community with the opportunity to upick strawberries and raspberries during the months of May-July
VARIETIES
We have two varieties of conventionally raised strawberries this year!
Sweet Sunrise. Living up to its name, this is a very sweet berry that doesn’t need much sun to develop a delicious flavor. It is an early variety berry with a shorter season (about 4-5 weeks).
Tillamook Variety berries are sweet, firm and usually large! It's a hardy berry. They're great for eating or freezing.
Our strawberry plants are sprayed at the flowering stage with a fungicide to protect the plants from the rainy PNW environment.
All varieties are $2.50/lbs
Our raspberry variety is Meeker. Perfect for jams and jellies, the Meeker is a delicious variety perfect for the PNW. Raspberries are $3.50/lbs
