Red Fire Farm Strawberry Soiree
June 20, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 8:00 pm
Join us at the farm in Montague for a celebration of the strawberry during the peak of picking season! We grow at least nine varieties of strawberries, each with their own unique flavor. This is a fantastic event for the whole family. Come in the afternoon to try a tasting of the many strawberry varieties, enjoy some live music, take the Walking Tour, have fun at the Fairy House Building workshop, and pick your own organic berries — we open the patch to the public for just this day! We’ll have strawberry shortcake and chocolate-dipped strawberries for sale, as well as seasonal produce from the farm. If you don’t want to pick your own, there will be quarts of strawberries for sale, by the variety.
