We will open at 7am for raspberry picking and expect to pick everyday this week and thru the weekend. The season is just beginning. We picked today in the fog and humidity. Needless to say we did not have as much picked as we hoped. High humidity keeps people away.  We are in for a good patch of weather into the holiday weekend and will see the berries increase in available amounts as the week progresses. Pick Your Own pints cost $3 each. We still have many sugar snaps and snow peas for you to pick and we stock the stand with them too. Lettuce is running low and I may run out for a week or two.

Fresh picked strawberries will be on the farmstand at 7am. We have been running out each day lately. At some point we may get ahead of the demand as we were for the early part of June.

My sunflowers have been budded up for awhile and the first ones are almost ready to cut. This afternoon I began cutting the ornamental grass called Setaria. It has green and bronze foliage and long bronze panicles. If I pick it early the panicles are lime green! It is great as a fresh cut or dried. I've planted several succession plantings of it along with many plantings of various sunflowers. The first zinnias are blooming, which means I need to go out the cut off the flowers so they branch out resulting in loads more flowers.
