Last Week for Pumpkins
For some people, picking out your "one and only" true pumpkin in the whole world is a the highlight of the Halloween season. During the past two weeks we have had kids of all ages explore the pumpkin patch for the perfect pumpkin for either carving or using to decorate a porch or table. Like Crisi and her family, many of our "pumpkin scouts" have come from Ridgecrest, California City, Bakersfield, Palmdale and Los Angeles (in addition to the local Tehachapi-ites). Crisi said that she will be back next year and we hope you will too. And if you haven't come by yet, we will be open everyday this week. Come on down!!!

PUMPKINS AND APPLES

This year we have pumpkins! And they are quite beautiful. We will begin selling pumpkins on Saturday, October 9. Check out our website for location and phone. If you are coming up to Tehachapi or if you want to come by on a weekday, be sure to call us first. (www.driesfarms.com).

We will also begin picking apples soon. There are not as many apples as last year and they are very late getting sweet enough to pick. Usually we need some cold night time temps to bring out the sugar, but the heat persists. Please call ahead if coming to pick apples.

FINALLY!!

I realize that I have been remiss in updating my blog. Basically I took an 18 month hiatus from the farm after I "retired" to take a long vacation, visit family, take a break from life and have an adventure. When I finally got back to taking care of the farm again, I was discouraged by weeds and overgrown gardens. The raspberries suffered greatly and I have very few plants left. I am slowly taking charge of all my gardens. I still have lavender and will have lavender products in September. I hope to have the store open for September and October during apple harvest.
