Pick the Perfect Berry

Posted on Jul 2

Down on the Farm at Schaefer's Farm Market

If you're craving sunshine, local goodies, vibrant flowers, sweet berries, and a farm cat named Scooter, Schaefer’s Farm Market in Trenton is the place to be.

U-Pick Strawberries

Nothing says "summer’s almost here" like red-stained fingers and the smell of sweet strawberries. From late May through early June, the strawberry fields at Schaefer’s open up for U-pick, and it’s pure berry bliss.

Rows and rows of sun-kissed berries are just begging to be plucked and popped into baskets. This sweet little tradition is the perfect way to kick off the summer season perfectly.

U-Pick Blackberries

For the first time, Schaefer’s is rolling out blackberry picking, and it’s about to change your cobbler game. These rich, dark berries are perfect for jam, pie, or just snacking.

Keep your eyes peeled for U-pick dates in July — these beauties won’t last long. Follow Schaefer's Farm Market on Facebook for updates.

Meet Scooter, Local Celebrity

Come for the produce. Stay for Scooter. Just don’t try to take her home — she already owns the place.

Scooter runs the farm like it’s her kingdom. Some days she likes to roam every inch of the farm. On other days, she likes to snooze in front of the farm market while basking in the sun. This little legend also likes all the ear scratches and attention she can get.
