The Ultimate Northwest Strawberry Experience Saturday July 2
Bring kids and a camera. Priceless photo-ops.
The day starts at 9:00 am with coffee and a brief discussion with fifth generation grower Chris McKnight and Shuksan enthusiast, Jon Rowley. Then we hit a virgin field of Shuksans to pick the very first ripe Shuksans of the year from the Thulen Farm.
Just you and an unpicked field of the most beautiful berries you can imagine...even more beautiful than you can imagine. If you haven't yet tried Shuksan strawberries, you are in for a treat. Lift the bright emerald green leaves and behold the most beautiful, glossy, sweet, red, juicy berries. Pick one, eat one. Half flat baskets are furnished.

Here's a piece written by Lorna Yee after her first Shuksan strawberry experience.
After a surfeit of picking we will gather for a Strawberry Social where you will have the opportunity to taste several strawberry varieties side by side. Enjoy Chris Mcknight's fresh Strawberry Ice Cream and Jon Rowley's scrumptious Strawberry Shortcake while we mingle and discuss our magical experience.
Shuksans are an amazing, delicious berry but they are very perishable. Plan to process them the some day. In addition to jam, Shuksans freeze well.
Tickets are $40 each and include coffee, strawberry picking, two half-flats of berries, Strawberry Social, varietal tasting and discussion. Kids under twelve are free except what they pick to take home.
Need more berries than you will pick? Pre-ordered half flats are $15 each.
For information contact Jon Rowley at 206.963.5959 or email rowley@nwlink.com with any questions. Thulen Farm is located at 12852 Dodge Valley Rd, Mount Vernon, WA.
