Berryton, KS Real Estate, Homes For Sale, School & Area Information

The Berry Hill UPick Farm is breathtaking. The Sunflower field is like looking at a postcard, freshly cut to make the perfect touch to my kitchen table. The home grown watermelons are delicious and the strawberries sold to Glaciers Edge Winery make one delicious wine! If you're in the area make sure to check it out!

This past winter, I sold a home on acreage in Berryton to a family moving back to Topeka after many years of living away on active military duty. I truly enjoyed getting to know the family and helping them in their relocation. As I drove past their new home recently, I was awestruck to remember that the home next door was once the iris and daylily farm where my young daughter and I used to buy our plants over 20 years ago.

I'd never before made that connection, though I'd been there several times through the winter. I was immediately drawn back to happy memories of walking through rows of blooming iris at this familiar flower farm. With my little daughter in tow, we'd give thoughtful consideration each season to which color combinations would be best in our yard. Then we'd gingerly dig and divide the plants, wash their roots, and wrap them in wet newspaper for transport home. The home has long since been sold and the flower farm abandoned as a commercial venture, but these hardy little plants endure.
