Berry Patch Farm is a family operation that has been providing fruit and produce since 1974. Joe and Kristin Wakeman purchased the farm in 2025 and operate it with help from both families. The farm grows berries, vegetables, apples, and other produce, using sustainable methods including compost and drip irrigation. The farm offers a quiet country setting without carnival-style entertainment.
