Jelli's Market is a pick your own
strawberry farm located near
The name of our market - Jelli's - is a result of
combining the names of our three girls. We think that is a pretty
unique name!
We planted our first plants in the spring of 2001. We LOVE strawberries
and have always had a small patch of our own. When considering how many
plants to put in that year, we thought we might put in a few extra plants so
we could have some extra berries to sell to neighbors. A few plants
turned into 25,000 and we were in the strawberry business!
In 2008, we will have 8 acres of strawberries. Over
the past few years we have added other produce items that have become popular
with our customers. We plant peas –
both edible pod and shell peas, that are ready to be
picked at the same time strawberries are ready. We have added asparagus, rhubarb, and about
an acre of raspberries, and they are all wonderful additions to our
farm. We also have green beans, sweet
corn, tomatoes, zucchini, and various other produce items during the
summer. Our entire produce season runs
from about mid May when asparagus is ready to late August with our sweet
corn. All of our produce is pick your own, but we do pre-pick limited
quantities every day too. We
always take orders and try to answer our “hotline” whenever possible.
In addition to our strawberry and produce business, we grow about 1,000 acres
of soybeans, corn, and hay. We have a herd of 50 Angus cows and also
raise
We are located about 5 miles off of I-94, about halfway between
