Owners Sandee Krause and her husband, Alf, have been growing on the property for 50 years, and their first cookbook, The Krause Berry Farms Cookbook, showcases the best ways to use spring and early summer produce. Try the Berry Upside Down Cake and Strawberry Rhubarb Loaves or, for something savory, Stuffed Artichokes filled with shrimp, cheese and chives.

Strawberry Rhubarb Loaves
“When we begin to see the rhubarb brought off the fields and into the kitchen, it signals us to get ready. Strawberries will follow closely behind and then the countdown to our busy harvest season on the farm begins. I love to make this recipe as these two crops overlap. It has a lovely sweet and tart taste that makes for a perfect kickoff to the summer! The lemon glaze adds a bit of colour and texture to the loaf.” – Sandee Krause

Seafood-stuffed Artichokes
“This dish is elegant and simple. The artichoke is stuffed with a rich, creamy and flavorful filling that complements the earthy tones of the vegetable. In our family we have even been known to auction off our artichoke hearts to the highest bidder at the table!” – Sandee Krause

Berry Upside-down Cake
“One of the things I love most about it is that I can make it with berries and then move on to plums and peaches as they come into season. The fruit caramelizes on the bottom or top (depending on which way you want to look at it), making for a flavourful, soft, moist cake. This doubles as a coffee cake for breakfast if there’s any left!” – Sandee Krause
