The Marier
Strawberry Farm has now closed
with the retirement of its original owners
Dr. Paul and Therése Marier.
However a new "Therése" is now selling
sunflowers (great for weddings and decorating
garden parties) and she may also have fresh
(seasonal) sweet corn later in the summer/fall.

Canaan Blueberry Farm
Brigitte and Morlen Reynolds as always head up a fabulous team
ready to serve up the best "pick your own" blueberries anywhere...
and we mean anywhere. Some of their blueberries are nearly as round as
quarters and fine folk came in from all over the region to fill
their baskets in this beautiful, quiet, rural setting that is so magnetic
some residents literally returned day after day.

still on Canaan Road.
If pickin' blueberries is not your thing, why not mosey on down to
