Some not-so-great news coming from a local farmer.

Diederich’s Berry & Produce Farm is located at 3537 Morrice Road in Webberville. It starts its season in early-to-mid-June with U-Pick/We-Pick Strawberries.

It posted the following on Facebook:
“Strawberry Update: This is not an update we want to give. Due to a widespread root system failure, we are experiencing severe crop loss. Despite our best efforts to save the crop, we will not be able to open for "U-Pick" or "We-Pick" this year. We hope you are able to get your strawberries this season from another source-we are very sorry we cannot be your berry farm this year. Looking for a better corn season”.

As for other crops, it was stated “So far everything else is good aside from no peaches. Some years are just harder. We appreciate your support!”
