Welcome to Pride of the Wapsi!

Ken and Janice ThomsenKen 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.
