Join the Harvest List
Seasonal Harvests, Grown with Intention
Because our farm focuses on perennial fruits and nuts, harvest timing varies by crop and season. Some fruits ripen early in summer, while others are harvested in late summer or fall. This diversity allows us to offer a longer harvest window and a wider range of flavors throughout the year.
As our shrubs and trees mature, seasonal availability will continue to expand. Visitors, chefs, and buyers are encouraged to follow along as our harvest calendar develops and new crops come into production.
Why Perennial Crops Matter
At Nuts About Dee’s Berries, we grow perennial fruits and nuts because they support healthier soil, stronger ecosystems, and long-term food resilience. Unlike annual crops, perennial systems establish deep root networks that help reduce erosion, improve water retention, and build organic matter over time.
Our farm is designed to support biodiversity, pollinators, and soil life while producing high-quality food for people. By focusing on perennial crops, we’re investing in a system that improves year after year — benefiting the land, our community, and future harvests.
This approach allows us to grow uncommon fruits and nuts responsibly while creating a farm that’s productive, educational, and resilient for the long term.

How Our Farm Is Built for the Future
Our farm is designed as a perennial system — meaning the fruits and nuts we grow are planted with longevity, resilience, and ecological balance in mind. Unlike annual crops, these systems mature over time, strengthening soil health, improving biodiversity, and producing reliable harvests year after year.
Because many of our crops take time to reach full production, we focus on thoughtful planning, education, and community connection well before harvest begins. This long-view approach allows visitors, buyers, and partners to follow along as the farm grows — and to be part of something built to last.
