Welcome to Borchert Orchards
Fresh and Delicious Fruits Directly from Our Orchard to You
April 21st, 2026, is a day that will be remembered at Borchert Orchards with much sadness. A spring frost hit the orchards hard while they were in full bloom, devastating most of the blossoms that morning.
About a month later, we are still trying to determine what we will have available to harvest and sell to our customers.
The extent of damage across the entire farm and crops is something we have not seen before, but we are ready for a fight and will push forward, just as farmers have done since the beginning of time.
The strawberries are one crop that seemed to survive the early frost, as they were still dormant enough and we believe they experienced only minor damage. The patches are looking good, with lots of blooms and berries forming. Hopefully, we should start to harvest them in late May to early June.
Keep us in prayers, and we will update the website as the season progresses. Thank you.
