Locally Grown Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Park Rapids is located in the heart of Minnesota, an area famous for our delicious and nutritious vegetables. Enjoy the finest in locally grown, seasonable produce.
Asparagus, Rhubarb, and Strawberries
Fresh produce usually begins in mid to late May, when the first asparagus pushes tender, sweet shoots up to herald the springtime. Often, we’ll continue to harvest asparagus through most of June, overlapping with our beautiful rhubarb and sweet strawberries.
By late June or early July, we open our pick your own strawberry patch for the sweetest, big, red, juicy strawberries you have ever seen — ready-picked strawberries are also available.
Seasonal Produce Treats
-
Asparagus starts soon after the weather becomes sunny and warm in May. Our asparagus crop extends through June.
-
We start seeing leafy stalks of ruby red rhubarb around late May to early June. We usually stop harvesting rhubarb around July 4.
-
Our much anticipated strawberries — both u-pick and ready-picked — are dependent on the weather but are usually available by late June through the middle of July. We never have definite dates ahead of time, but once the season starts, it lasts approximately three weeks.
