From a Strawberry Cart to an Erie Institution The story of Mason Farms began with a simple goal: two brothers selling strawberries to buy a pony named Patches. Today, that hardworking spirit has grown into a massive 350-acre operation across Lake City and Erie. Now in its fourth generation of family farming, Mason Farms is a cornerstone of the region’s agricultural scene, growing over 100 varieties of crops and nearly all the annuals found in their greenhouses.
For visitors, Mason Farms offers two distinct experiences. You can head out to the original Lake City farm for a classic "pick-your-own" adventure or visit their expansive Country Market and Garden Centers on Peninsula Drive and Old French Road. These retail hubs are a year-round destination, featuring a nursery, a gift shop, and some of the freshest produce in the city. Whether you're hunting for the perfect pumpkin in the fall, fresh strawberries in the summer, or high-quality plants for your garden, the Mason family brings the best of the field directly to the community.
Highlight: A massive local producer with "Pick-Your-Own" options and convenient city-wide retail locations.
Best For: Fresh-picked seasonal produce, garden nursery needs, and family-friendly farm outings.
