Sweet Cherries are Ready!

The Sweet Cherry season is 2 weeks early this year thanks to the very warm weather in April and May. We have Dark and White Sweet Cherries and boy are they sweet. The sun has really made a difference in the taste and flavor. You are able to purchase these at the Farm Stand on Lincoln Road or Pick them right from the trees in the 2 acre orchard. One of the best features of our You Pick is NO LADDERS. Everything is from the ground and the branches are even low enough for the children to reach. See you soon!

Strawberries?

Yes, we do have Strawberries for You Pick and already Picked. They are getting smaller as the season progresses but at the same time they are getting sweeter. But please remember the season will be short so don't wait! The You Pick fields are open Monday thru Friday 7:30am to 11:30am, Saturday and Sunday 7:30am to 2:00pm. We will have picked Strawberries on the Farm Stand as long as the season lasts.

The Strawberry season is in full swing...don’t wait too long!

The Strawberry season is in full swing. Berries are red, ripe, juicy and tasty. Be sure to visit the You Pick 7:30am to 11:30am as soon as you are able. If you don’t have time to pick your own contact us to place an order for pick up at the Farm Stand. The season will not last long so don’t wait!

The 2010 Strawberry Season has started!

This years Strawberry season will be an unusual one. The early warm weather of April and Early May brought the plants into bloom sooner than is typical. Then the long hours of freezing temperatures during several nights in Mid-May froze many of the blossoms (despite the row covers that were used to protect them). What did this do? It caused all the early blossoms and any baby berries to fall off. So most of the strawberries available will be from the later blossoms.

So what started as a bountiful very early season is now going to be a short later season.

On a positive note the fruit is really sweet because of all the sun and heat we have had.

But don’t wait too long ……… the season will be over before you know it!

Sorry for the long absence!

In April, Stephanie’s Mom suffered a massive stroke and died. We have been consumed with all that goes along with the sudden death of a loved one. Thank you for your patience & understanding.

Spring is in the air!

March is here and you can smell spring in the air. The birds are up and singing earlier every day. And check out how yellow the willow trees are.

Spring also means CSA sign ups. Interested in the 2010 season? Just send us an e-mail. Returning members don’t miss out on the discount opportunities, get your enrollments in.

How about all that snow in February? It might be a hassle for some but it really helps keep the ground cold and the fruit dormant. This reduces the risk of flowering too soon and the new crop freezing if there is a cold snap.

Enjoy the increasing sunshine and keep a look out for other signs of spring.

2010 CSA sign up is here! Where did January go?

2010 CSA sign ups have started. Please check out the CSA page and e-mail us if you are interested in learning more or signing up. It is a great opportunity to support your local farmer and receive great produce during the season.

How about all this snow! When not plowing to keep the driveways open Gary has been busy getting the equipment ready and trimming the fruit trees. Stephanie is submerged in paper work. We both have meetings, meetings, meetings!

Is it Spring yet?
