Carandale farm has over 14 acres of strawberries for PYO and pre-picked sales, and is our first fruit of the season starting in mid June.  Our Fall Season starts in early September with 1 acre of fall bearing red raspberries, 2 acres of Concord grapes, and 10 acres of apples.

We are located in South-Central Dane County, 3 1/2 miles west of Oregon and just 8 miles south of Madison. We are within 25 miles of most locations in Dane, Rock and Green Counties.
