The Maurer
Family sold their first strawberries in 1950, from a
small plot of land on Highland Avenue in the north end
of Wooster.
The farm
operation was moved to the present location
at 2901 Batdorf Road in Wooster Township in 1961. The farm
operation has been expanded over the years. Presently
David, Carol and son Roger Maurer operate the family farm.
Strawberries, raspberries, sweet corn and all kinds of
vegetables are our specialties. We follow the latest
cultural practices so that we can provide our customers
with the best quality produce possible. We follow
integrated pest management practices meaning that we
scout our fields for pests; plant resistant varieties;
and employ cultural practices that minimize the
necessity of using pesticides. The farm has a written
food safety policy which all employees follow.
Many individuals and families enjoy picking their own
berries in the pleasant surroundings of our strawberry
and raspberry fields. We furnish containers at no charge
in which you may pick your berries. The strawberry
containers hold about 6 pounds and the raspberry buckets
hold 7 to 8 pounds.
Our
strawberries, raspberries, sweet corn, tomatoes and
pumpkins are available in season at Buehler’s Fresh
Foods and at our on the farm market. Our farm market is
located at 2901 Batdorf Road, Wooster, Ohio and is open
in season from 9:00AM – 6:00PM Monday through Friday and
9:00AM – 4:00PM on Saturday. The market is closed on
Sunday. Our market features produce grown on our farm
and some items which we do not grow but are grown by
other local farmers.
