The highs and lows of farming aren’t easy, but Danielle Clark of Mayberry Farms says they’re worth it. When Danielle and her husband purchased their Mayville farm in 2017, it had a rich history of opening its gates to the community for a pick your own strawberry experience. With the goal of keeping the farm in production and raising their children in agriculture, the Clarks continued to raise pick-your-own strawberries as well as honeybees, row crops, and an apple orchard. Each year, they cover the strawberries with straw to protect them from the cold temperatures. This spring, when they pulled back the straw the berries didn’t seem quite right.
