This morning at 5:44am, our crews were dispatched to the 400 block of West Brown Avenue for a residential structure fire. Upon arrival, crews noted smoke and flames coming from second story windows. The fire was mostly contained to the second story, but did involve a portion of a first story room. A male, in his 70s, was unable to escape the second story. Fortunately, his wife was able to escape unharmed. Our thoughts are with the family.

Thank you to Huntsville Volunteer Fire Department, The Logan County Fire Investigation Team, Bellefontaine Police Department, and the Ohio State Fire Marshal’s Office for their assistance.

🚨📢U-Pick open Thurs 6/4 9:00-6:00 or until picked out!
Bring help to pick with you! The supply is still good for this part of the season, but we are starting to wind down. Takes a bit longer to pick now, but the flavor is still great!

Only a few days left. We will try to have ripening days to keep the supply up. Probably closed by the end of next week.

We are offering U-Pick a $1.00 discount tomorrow and $2.00 discount if you are reusing a bucket. 😊🍓

$19.00 discounted to $18, or $17 for reusing buckets.

Pre-Picked is done for the season. My help is picking one last order and then working in the new field.

If the whole field is picked tomorrow, we will have 2 ripening days again and be open Sunday.
BUT, stay tuned for updates. 😊
