Today June 22 will be the last day for Strawberry U-pick, but we will be open all day today for any of you who would like one last chance to get strawberries between 8 AM and 7 PM today.  The late varieties of strawberries are still ripe and ready but picking is slowing down, since there are less and less green berries to ripen. The berry patch has continued to provide a bounty of ripe berries and interested strawberry pickers visited daily last week and were still pretty successful with buckets of picking, but it took longer to pick than a few weeks ago!  The berries are also smaller at this time in the season, but they are packed with that optimum sweetness! 

We will be closed on Sunday, June 23, and throughout the weekdays in July except we will continue to be open on Saturday mornings from 8 AM to 12 PM, and we will be open more often again when we announce that the raspberry season has begun sometime in August. We will always try to have some pre-picked berries available as much as we can on our produce stand on Saturdays.  Our fall raspberries will start around the end of August and into September. Our farm stand with free range eggs and fresh produce will continue to be open on Saturdays from 8 AM – 12 PM until the end of October.

HoneyBee U-Pick is located at 5700 Scio Church Road. Please check back for updates and subscribe to our mailing list.

Lovingly named “Honey-Bee U-Pick”, due to a couple of bee hives established on the property, Tantre Farm’s U-pick patch in Ann Arbor has become easily recognized by the artisanal timber frame barn constructed in 2020/2021 at the corner of Zeeb and Scio Church Roads. This u-pick site does not have an official address, since it’s in the middle of a field, but can be found using 5700 Scio Church Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48103. It was originally acquired by Scio Township’s Land Preservation Committee in 2019. Now an extension of Tantre Farm and owned by the Andres Family Trust, this convenient location isn’t just for u-pick. This land consisting of 161 acres is dedicated to regenerative agriculture and educating the community on concepts related to the essential nature of land use in all aspects of life.

U-pick opportunities attract the community to enjoy the age-old pastime of picking as a family, while attracting the pollinators we rely on for a majority of our food sourcing.

U-pick Strawberries: 2021 was our first year offering U-pick to the public. We will be opening this year on June 1. Please sign up on our HoneyBee Mailing List to be informed of opening date, prices, and days open.

Price: $6/pound

Pre-picked Strawberries will be available on a first come first serve basis for $5/pint.

U-Pick Raspberries: Our red and black raspberry plants stand tall in 10 rows north of our Strawberry U-pick patch. With an initial flush of sweet berries in July, we usually offer the public the opportunity to pick raspberries with that early flush in July and then throughout August and September. We have to adjust our days and hours on a weekly basis early in the season based on the weather, while the fall raspberries come in stronger at the end of August and throughout September. Please sign up on our HoneyBee Mailing List to be informed of opening date, prices, and days open.

You can pay with Cash, Check to Tantre Farm, or Venmo to @Deb-Lentz. We are not able to process credit cards at this time unless you want to pay a 3% fee through PayPal.

Already Picked Pumpkins: Please check back in October for jack-o-lantern or pie pumpkins. Please sign up on our HoneyBee Mailing List to be informed of opening date, prices, and days open.

Our Honey Bee property is a work in progress. Tantre Farm follows natural, ecological growing practices with all of the produce we offer. This does mean that you will encounter weeds on our property and in our patches as we continue to renovate this property. It also means that you will receive safe, healthy, and pesticide-free fruit. We do our best to keep the rows tended and easy to navigate, and we appreciate your understanding that these berries are not treated with chemicals or pesticides.

We do advise that you wear pants and closed toed shoes, sun protection, and mosquito repellant while u-picking for your own protection and comfort. We appreciate your patience and feedback, as we continue to improve our u-pick process.
