Dana loves taking her kids to Eckert’s farms! They always have a great time, and there is a lot to do there during the summer. Chris Eckert is here to tell us what all is happening at their Belleville and Grafton farms.
Chris says that Eckert’s is doing the best they can to keep the family tradition alive this summer. Things are a little different his year because of Coronavirus, but the pick your own fields are now open again. They have peaches, veggies and blackberries available right now.
When people go out on the wagons, Chris says that things will be similar, but adjustments have been made to keep people safe. They would like people to wear masks when they are on the wagon, and the number of people allowed on at a time has been limited. Partitions have also been added to keep people as safe as possible. While picking the food, there is not better way to social distance then just spreading out in the fields.
