WE WILL NOT BE PICKING RASPBERRIES THIS WEEKEND. Sad to say that at this point I am not optimistic about the raspberries bursting forth into any crop large enough for a 24/7 U-Pick. The potential is there, but the berries may think that winter is coming and they may begin to shut down. On the brighter side, in past years we have picked berries into November. So we shall not give up yet. The store will be open on Saturday for Lavender and I do have Raspberry Jam.

Much to everyone's disappointment the raspberries are not ready for picking this week. The store will be open on Saturday.

Sept 5

Raspberries are not ready to pick yet. Keep checking back.

Sat. August 30

Did a search of the raspberry field this morning. There is alot of potential out there, but there is not enough activity to open for berry picking today. A person could probably glean a small amount of berries if they were very diligent. Let's hope for next week. And if you are reading this and you are someone who lives nearby, you are welcome to come pick for free today or tomorrow....happy hunting.

Week 4: Waiting and Watching

The store will be open on Saturdays beginning next Saturday, August 30; however, the raspberries will not be ready. Many of my neighbrs are saying how their gardens are slow growing this year. Perhaps mother nature knows something we don't. Sorry to disappoint all my loyal berry pickers out there. Keep checking the blog.

Week 3: Raspberry update

I will go out on a limb and say that we will have raspberries beginning Saturday, August 30. I will also have the store open that day and every Saturday until it gets cold. I will have raspberry jam and lavender and lavender products.....and maybe some surprises. Hope to see you then.

Week 2: Raspberry News

Alot of people have been calling and asking about the raspberries. We are usually in full picking season by this time in the year; however we are at least a month behind. Keep checking this blog as I will update it weekly now. Whether we have berries ready or not, the store will be open on Saturdays beginning August 30. We will have jam and lavender products.....and hopefully berry picking by then.
