Shuksan Strawberries

Shuksan strawberries are best known for how well they taste, make jam, and freeze. They are also wonderful in your favorite berry recipes.

Our berry season generally starts in early June and runs for 3-4 weeks.

You may purchase them already picked or come out to the farm to pick your own!

We have Tulameen raspberries, which have a GREAT taste! Marionberries which are wonderful for jams, pies, and cobblers. Blueberries, great for fresh eating or used in your favorite recipe such as fresh blueberry muffins.

You may purchase these berries already picked.

These berries are usually ripe late-June to mid-July. Don't forget to come back after strawberry season to purchase these berries!!

HANDLING TIPS

FOR STRAWBERRIES

If not processing right away, pick with stems on and put directly in your refrigerator without washing.
Fresh northwest fruit only keeps 2-3 days in a refrigerator before spoiling.
If freezing, slice and add a small amount of sugar. Place in a plastic freezer bag. Take out and enjoy in the winter for an extra special treat!
