We close for the winters. And a special thank you to our customers who value their health, and self-harvest our vegetables and strawberries. Another key to health is to not eat any refined sugar.

Baby Axle in Strawberries

Welcome to Richardson Family Farm

Our strawberry season runs from Memorial Day to heavy frost (5 months straight), and our berries are plentiful. As always, we look forward to seeing you and your family/friends out for another great year of strawberries!
(We provide free flat boxes for berry storage/management, and hands-on advice for u-picking strawberries. Kids welcome! Cash/checks only please.)

Our four different plant varieties are packed with ripening berries all season long (late May, all the way through til frost), so it won’t take you long to pick multiple pounds. If you are picking a plethora for jamming, bring your friends and family to make it quick and fun!

For a full listing of our other crops (and when they are ripe), see below.

Further details: Our business hours are 8am to 8pm.  Our phone numbers in order of which to call are: (208)-365-4262, (208)-869-2619, and (208)-995-1720. We are closed on Sundays.

This year our price for u-pick strawberries from May to November will remain @ $2.90 per pound for all purchases.

There will be a LOT of ripe berries available throughout the growing season, most years right up until Halloween! Plus, our fall strawberry crop is noted for being especially sweet and durable!

Our super sweet Sugar Snap peas @ 3.50 per pound will be available at times during the summer and fall; perfect for eating fresh as a sweet and healthy snack, tossed whole (or cut) in salads, or sauteed in stir-fry’s/omelets.  Our peas are the  sweetest of all vegetables. 

If you are poor and want to buy our certified fruits and vegetables, we can give you a weeding assignment or other work so you can earn your food.  We are members of WWOOF  (Willing Workers On Organic Farms)  http://www.wwoof.org.

When you see this bridge, you know you’re getting close to the delicious strawberries.

  1. Is there anyway to be notified when the next crop is ready for upick?

    • My best guess at this point, Mid July; but The weather this year has made timings unpredictable. I will post up on our site further details as they become available, so check the main ‘crop update’ page in late June/early July for specifics.

  2. Do you still have u-pick organic strawberries available? And do you have u-pick organic apples for sale? What hours are you open?

    Thanks!

  3. Hi,
    We’d love to talk to you about wholesale quantities. Can you email me, info@idahosbounty.coop? We are in the area twice a week, picking up product, and then delivering the next day in the Wood and Treasure Valleys, including to both Boise Coops.

    Thankl
