📸Calling all Class of 2027 Seniors!🎓

We wanted to share this wonderful local small business with our Sunshine Farm family!

Our daughter-in-law Diona Trexler
of Waves Of Time Photography
is already booking Class of 2027 senior sessions, and her summer and fall calendar is filling quickly. If you’re looking for a photographer who creates beautiful images while making the experience fun, relaxed, and stress-free, we highly recommend reaching out to her.

Diona has photographed many of our farm families over the years and does an amazing job capturing genuine smiles and unforgettable memories.

Be sure to visit Waves of Time Photography and get your senior session on the calendar before those prime fall dates are gone! 🎓🍓

As we close out our 2026 strawberry season today, our hearts are absolutely overflowing with gratitude. 🍓

Thank you to each and every one of our wonderful customers who chose to spend part of your spring and early summer making memories with us here at our small family farm. Whether you visited once or came back again and again throughout the season, please know that your support, kindness, patience, and smiling faces mean more to our family than words could ever express.

Watching so many families, couples, grandparents, and little ones walk through our patch hunting for that perfect sweet strawberry has truly been one of the greatest blessings. These fields hold so many memories for our family, and sharing them with all of you is something we never take for granted.

Today may have been the final day of our 2026 U-pick strawberry season, but we are already looking ahead with excitement and dreaming of making next season even bigger, better, and sweeter. We cannot wait to welcome all of you back to the patch again next year. 🍓☀️

Please enjoy some of the beautiful moments our resident photographer, Diona Trexler of Waves Of Time Photography, captured today of many of you enjoying the hunt for that last sweet strawberry of the season. If you are looking for photography of any kind, please be sure to reach out to her — she has such a gift for capturing genuine memories and heartfelt moments.

From the bottom of our hearts…
Thank you for supporting our small family farm. ❤️

We’ll see you next strawberry season!
♥️🤍💙

Just a little reminder to our strawberry friends…🍓

Tomorrow, Monday 5/25, will officially be the LAST day of our 2026 U-Pick strawberry season at The Donahue’s Sunshine Farm!
We will open at 9AM.

As we reach the very end of the season, please keep in mind that picking is no longer quite as plentiful or as easy as it was at the beginning of the season — or even a week ago. The berries are still out there, but they may take a little more searching and patience. ❤️

If you’re wanting to make one more strawberry memory before we close out another beautiful season, we’d absolutely love to see you out at the patch one last time. 🍓☀️
