Beginning Wednesday July 21st the farm will open at 9am instead of 7am. We are not getting that many early raspberry pickers lately and we have a lot of vegetables to pick for the farmstand every morning. Our new hours beginning July 21st will be Monday thru Friday 9am - 6pm and Saturday and Sunday 9am -4pm.

The raspberries still have fair to good picking and we expect to have these conditions for another week or so. This means there is plenty of berries, it just takes a little more time to fill your baskets. We've had a few customers this morning already pick 12 pints in less than 2 hours. Also I find that bending over and looking up under the leaves unviels a whole new cache of berries that most people don't see.  Children see these berries quite easily.

Strawberries will be back on the farmstand in good supply by August 1st. Our second planting of sweet corn will be ready sometime around August 1st and Pick Your Own tomatoes will begin about the same time. PYO tomatoes will be $1/lb. We have heirloom, sauce, red and yellow cherries, saladette and large salad types.   We lost our first planting of sweet corn to the weeds. Most farmers use an herbicide in their corn fields but we don't and during June strawberry season we did not cultivate it regularly and the weeds took over.

The sugar snaps are finished for now. We have more planted and growing in the field for late August? We hope to have more sugar snaps into the fall. We will see how they grow as this is the first time we have tried to have them late summer.
