Thompson Strawberry Farm
The Thompson family has been growing strawberries in Kenosha County for over 70 years. We have been primarily a “Pick-Your-Own” farm for 50 years. Scott Thompson is the 4th generation of Thompson to grow strawberries. During the peak of the “Pick-Your-Own”, our family grew 150 acres of strawberries. Our farm is located just east of The Club at Strawberry Creek Golf Course. We currently farm about 100 acres and will be picking 20 acres of strawberries this year. Although we have downsized, we still have plenty of strawberries to meet the demand. The season usually starts about mid-June and usually we pick at least through July 4th. We are more than just strawberries though. We also have raspberries, pumpkins and other vegetables!
Always check “Today on the Farm” the day you come to the farm. Weather and crowds can change the quantity of berries we have very quickly. Come out and pick your own strawberries! When you arrive at the farm, you will follow the signs to the pre-picked strawberry stand. An employee will direct you, from the stand to the strawberry field, where you can park. The field will
always have employees available to answer questions, and they are located by the large trailer( 拖
车).We supply the baskets for you to pick the berries and take them home in. When you are done
picking, you will move to the checkout stand to pay for the baskets that you have picked.
