About Us

Welcome to the Strawberry Basket & Big Woods Nectar and the home of Brad and Bess Munsterteiger.

Our story starts in 1983 when Brad’s parents started raising strawberries in Freeport, MN.  Working with them, Brad learned the ins and outs of running a pick your own farm and he developed a love for growing strawberries.

Cut Your Own Flowers

Brad's original plan was to only plant Sunflowers and Zinnias. But, you know Brad, he got a little carried away when buying the seeds. He just had to buy a dozen or so other varieties to test. The test went well, we will be doing it again. We have Celosia, Bachelor Buttons, Snapdragons, Marigolds, Zinnias, Sunflowers, and more.

Garlic

Our venture into growing northern hard neck garlic began in 2019.   Our Garlic is grown organically.  We currently grow 7 hard neck varieties.

Strawberries

You just can't beat the flavor of Minnesota grown strawaberries. These are superior to what you find at the grocery store. After sampling one of our juicy, sweet strawberries – we think you will agree it is worth the trip to "The Strawberry Basket" in Monticello, MN.   Our fields are clean, straw mulched and full of very satisfied customers.  Our farm is professionally managed and supervised by a great crew of adults and teenagers. We certainly appreciate their help and hope you do too.

Blueberries

Our blueberry planting consists of some 1100 bushes with cultivar names such as North Blue, Polaris, and Northland as our mainstay, all developed through the University of Minnesota plant program.  Pick your own Blueberry season usually begins early July and lasts 3 - 4 weeks.
