Yes, It is time. time for us, Kirk and Nancy, to discontinue the commercial strawberry chapter of our story. Imparting a positive impact in the lives of area youth has been our driving business goal. Growing strawberries provided us the instrument to achieve that goal. Now our model of raising youth using strawberries is out of tune. Navigating government regulations and procuring timely strawberry varieties to accommodate fluctuating calendars has proved to be financially unsustainable for our business model. Taking into consideration that we are in our mid/late 60's, re-tuning our business to be viable, is not for us.
It has been an honor to work with youth for 44 of the 107 years Klickers have been in the strawberry business. We are richer for the opportunity to be a few paragraphs in the treasured lives of the thousands of youth who have come through our door to be a Klicker Picker.
Thank YOU, our employees, customers and vendors, who have become our friends. Thank you for the laughter and sweet memories. Our hearts are happy and full.
As we say "Yes, Lord!" to whatever is next, thank you for the grace and space to let a new, unknown chapter in our life story be written.
The retail Klicker Store is a separate business and will remain open. Please continue to visit them for seasonal produce, Fall pumpkins, December Christmas trees, gifts and antiques. Click HERE for their contact information.
