More Than a Farm β A Living Food Forest
At Nuts About Deeβs Berries, we donβt farm in straight lines or short seasons β we design ecosystems.
Our orchard is built using agroforestry and food forest principles, layering trees, shrubs, and ground-level crops to mimic the structure of a natural forest. This approach creates healthier soil, stronger plants, and a harvest season that stretches from spring into late fall.
Every planting decision supports long-term sustainability, biodiversity, and climate resilience β so this land can feed people not just today, but for generations to come.
π± Regenerative by Design
Your invitation to the food forest
From U-pick harvests to hands-on workshops and seasonal tastings, our farm is designed to be experienced. Whether youβre here to gather fruit, learn new skills, or simply enjoy the orchard, every visit connects you to the land and the food it grows.
Pick at Peak Ripeness
Join us during select harvest windows to pick fruit straight from the food forest. Availability changes with the season and the weather, so U-pick opportunities are announced as crops reach their peak.
Learn by Doing
From propagation and pruning to food preservation and herbal uses, our workshops are hands-on and seasonalβshaped by whatβs happening in the orchard and garden at that moment.

Small Batches, Big Flavor
Some harvests are fleeting. When quantities are limited or something special is ready, we host pop-up tastings and micro-events featuring fresh fruit, preserves, and value-added goods.

Because harvest timing shifts year to year, the best way to catch U-pick days and events is through our announcements. Follow along for real-time updates as crops come into season.
