For decades, our family has been honored to be part of this community—growing blueberries, welcoming visitors, and creating memories at Swift Creek Berry Farm. It’s been a true joy to share this land and experience with so many of you over the years.

After much thoughtful consideration and long-term planning, we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down operations after the end of the 2027 season. In the meantime, we want to reassure our customers and friends that Swift Creek Berry Farm will continue to operate as usual. We’re also exploring creative ways to stay connected and involved in the community beyond that time.

This decision hasn’t come easily. In 2019, we faced the heartbreaking loss of our entire crop—a major financial setback. Just a year later, the pandemic brought further challenges, including a significant decline in sales. In 2021, we lost Clyde Goode, the heart of this farm and our family’s guiding force. We did our best to pick up the pieces, launching a new entity in hopes of restoring the farm and continuing the legacy. But the weight of those years proved too much to overcome.

As a family, we’ve ultimately decided that it’s time to move on from the farm and the property, and to pursue new chapters in our lives.

We are deeply grateful for your continued support and for the 40-plus years of memories, laughter, and connection. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey.

Warmly,

The Goode Family
