Welcome to Pride of the Wapsi!
 Ken and Janice Thomsen, founders, first opened the Pride of the Wapsi in
the spring of 1988 as a pick your own strawberry patch. Then, they began
offering wagon rides to their pumpkin patch in the fall of 1990.
Through much development, the Pride of the Wapsi has taken on many changes in the
years under the Thomsen's direction. They started pick your own red raspberries
and reputable sweet corn stands on the local streets and Clinton/Scott County roadsides.
Their attention has focused on the Davenport and Bettendorf Farmer's markets in the past
three years.
The Thomsen's decided in 2003 to sell the Pride of the Wapsi to Pat and Lora Dierickx
and their three children Travis, Nicole, and Shane. The Dierickxes plan to continue
to operate and expand their well established business. They would like to invite you
to take a look at what they have to offer. They hope you choose to enjoy what
generations of families and area schools have enjoyed for 16 years.
