While we offer a range of seasonal produce, our top crops are strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, tomatoes, vegetables and cut flowers. Here you can explore what we grow throughout the year!

STRAWBERRIES

In season late March through late May

  • A favorite of the customers at the Ivy Place. Earliest producing variety. Very sweet. They are firm, can tolerate gentle shipping over short distances, and have deep red mature strawberries.

  • Variety that Ivy Place has planted the most of...entire upper field, all the middle field and half of lower field. Beautiful and very good tasting berry. Firm wedge-shaped fruit that has deep red color, intense vibrant flavor with a balance of acid and sweetness.

  • First year that we are growing. ‘Merced’ is a short-day (June bearing) cultivar similar to ‘Camarosa’ , but with greater productivity, higher quality fruit, and earlier production but with somewhat earlier production, superior fruit and quality, and better-flavored fruit.

  • Ruby June has the darkest exterior and interior color of any of Lassen Canyon’s varieties. The fruit is great for recipes calling for strawberries.

TOMATOES
