The Season will officially Start on the 13th of June!
We are so excited to get this season underway! The Farm Stand is opening on the 13th of June. We will have fresh picked peas - shell, snow and snap. Along with yummy Strawberries and Rhubarb. Personally I love Rhubarb all by itself either stewed or in a pie or in crisp. I save the Strawberries for fresh eating or sliced over ice cream (Gary's favorite).
Our You Pick Strawberry plants have not recovered from the freeze they experienced 3 nights in a row in late April. We don't think they will produce a viable crop for the You Pick season this year. We plan to open the You Pick with Red Raspberries later in June.
We hope to see you soon.

Spring to Summer transition is underway!
The Barn Swallows returned yesterday. For us that is a sure sign Spring is transitioning to Summer. The peas are up and out of the ground. The hoop house or high tunnel is planted with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and squash. The new cherry trees and raspberry bushes have been planted. They are just waiting for the warm weather to start growing. The new strawberry plants will be arriving in the middle of May. Soon after that we will be planting all of the other vegetables. June will be here before you know it!
