Welcome to Flint Creek Orchard

We are closed for the 2025 season.  We enjoy the seasonal progression, first with strawberries, and ending with apples. We appreciate everyone who takes the time to come out here, and we hope you’ll be back next year.  The reason we do this is to provide fresh fruit and produce at a reasonable cost.  We plan to do it again in 2026, and we hope you will join us.  

We anticipate the 2026 strawberry season to start in late May.  For those who haven’t picked strawberries here, our hours will be similar to what we had this fall, and you’ll park just after you pass through the gate, near the strawberry field, instead of driving up to where you parked this fall.  We’ll be at the white metal shed like we have been the past few years.  

Our 2025 season started with strawberries on Memorial Day, May 26.  The strawberries were finished on June 17.  The strawberries were good again this year.  The raspberry season started June 25 and ended July 8 in pretty hot weather, which adversely affected the raspberries.  

The blackberries opened on July 28, finally closing on September 7.  They were fantastic.  During this time we also started selling garlic (small size), onions (large size and really good, especially early), peppers, and eggplant (green bell was a flop, but the hot peppers did very well, as did the eggplant (boy, did I learn about eggplant this year--thank you Pam and Ivy).  

Peaches opened July 28 for a couple of days, then again August 4 for a few days, and again on August 16 until August 25.  They turned out very well.

Seedless table grapes were popular again.  The first variety was ready at the same time as the blackberries, July 28.  The table grapes were finished by September 7.  The Concord grape variety was available starting September 28, but its season was not very long, maybe a couple of weeks.

Asian pears were a hit.  We had three varieties available this year, each available for a short time.  We started with the first variety on August 23, then the second variety September 6, and the third maybe two weeks later.  

Plums were another fruit that was very good and sold out quickly.  The season started September 4 and was finished around the 13th.  I expect that there will be more plum trees with fruit next year.

We picked up mums again from our friends at Tucker Farms Produce in Crawfordsville in early September.  These are always really nice plants, and we sell out pretty quickly.

At the same time as the mums, September 7, we also had the Winter Luxury pie pumpkins, which seemed popular.  They were pretty neat to look at, with the netting that covered the pumpkin. Delicata winter squash started on September 12, and butternut started September 14.  The acorn squash did not grow this year.  

We had jack-o-lantern pumpkins ready on September 21.  It was a good pumpkin year.

And last but not least, we sold out of honey before we closed for the season.  John does such a nice job taking care of the bees, and we are very pleased to distribute his honey.

And that’s a wrap.  We hope to see you next year.
