NEW HAPPENINGS

For all you raspberry lovers out there, I regret to tell you that we will not have raspberries this year. I will have the store open in mid-August for sale of lavender, lavender products and herbs. I am hoping that next year we will have more success. Margaret

A NEW YEAR

I can't believe it has been exactly six months since I wrote in this blog.
WRT my personal life I have actually "retired" (if there is such a thing) as of February 27. I immediately got in my car to do some visiting and have ended up staying in Virginia with one of my daughters and her family (4 grandchildren). I will return to Tehachapi in June. This leads me into the farm and what is happening. I will have alot more time to devote to the farm and developing more products and maintaining the berries and lavender. So I am excited about that.... after being away for a few months, I actually AM excited about the farm! So look for more to go on this year and hopefully a bigger and better raspberry crop. And of course we will have lavender. Plan to visit the farm this summer.

Raspberry Season Over

I checked the field tonight and there were no berries to be found. This is the end of a very disappointing season. Also, since no one is available to be at the store this weekend we will be closed. However, raspberry jam and lavender products are available by calling me or sending me an email. We can always arrange to meet at the store given enough notice. Have a happy weekend.

Slim Pickins

The title says it all. There are very few berries out there. I have had a few pickers during the week and they did pick the canes pretty well clean; however, if you and the family just want to have some fun and a little adventure, come on by this weekend. I am sure that you will be able to find a few hidden berries. It will be on the chilly side so dress accordingly.

The store will be open on Saturday. I have raspberry jam, lavender products, lavender bunches, lavender bath tea and other lavender products. Also, I will be having a garage sale inside my store where it is nice and warm. Come by for a visit and some hot chocolate.

October 3 - Brrrr

If you are coming up to Tehachapi this weekend, be prepared for cool weather. There are apple farms open and our store will be open. Raspberry picking will be available; however, it is alot of hunting for those ripe ones. Whatever you do this weekend, be safe and have a good time.

September 29

Raspberry picking is now available 24/7. We were delighted to have many customers pick berries this past weekend. Even though the berries were scarce, most customers picked 1-2 lbs. With continued picking and warm weather, the berries will be more plentiful. Bring a hat and study shoes. If you bring you own containers, make sure that you weigh them before picking. There are foam boxes and directions in front of the store.

Sepember 26

Conditions on the farm remain the same. There are some raspberries to pick, but very few. The store will be open on Saturday. Please come on by.
