July 23: The summer pick your own berry season is starting to wind down. Blackberries are still in good condition this weekend but you won’t want to wait too much longer. It is a smaller crop than usual because of the harsh winter and we expect to end the season in another week or so.
Blueberries are still available though you’ll want to ask for directions to the best berries. There are pockets of good picking, and there are still more to ripen, but some patience is required now.
We have a good supply of peaches in the market now. They have been tasting great this season and we look forward to several more weeks of them.
Watch the webpage or Facebook page next week for Honeycrisp news. Yes, believe it or not, we will have some Honeycrisp of our own this year and we’ve made arrangements with other local growers to swap around varieties that each of us are lucky enough to have. So though the supply will definitely be down this year, we will do our best to bring you your favorite varieties.
Our flowers are starting to put on a show, so come join us this weekend for pick your own Zinnias and Sunflowers. When you pick your own, our large sunflower stems are just .50 per stem and our multi colored zinnias are only $8.00 per bouquet.
