We will be out of picked strawberries until Monday morning. If the strawberries follow the same pattern as last year they will increase in available amount and later in July we will have many more picked strawberries for the farmstand. We do have picked raspberries on the farmstand for $6/pint.

Thank you everyone that came by to pick berries on Wednesday! We had a great response from the email we sent out about the earlinesss of the raspberry season. As a result we picked down both beds.  There are many berries that need a little more time to ripen. We closed the top bed late  Wednesday morning for ripening and that is where we will have picking Thursday.. This top bed has three varieties that are ready, however it won't be excellent picking yet and if you want to pick large quantities we suggest waiting until Friday morning or sometime in the next few weeks.  On Thursday, or really any day, its always a good idea to call and check in case the beds are picked off. We will keep the newest bed closed all day tomorrow so it will be full of ripe berries Friday at 7am.

There are still lots of sugar snaps peas for picking and we pick them for the farmstand too.

The snow peas are winding down and the slugs are having a feast in them. We have them on the farmstand today, however we will be tilling them in soon. Peas are great for the soil as they store  nitrogen in little nodules called heterocysts on their roots. They have the ability, like other legumes, to gather or fix nitrogen from within the soil that will help future crops grow.
