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.

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.

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.

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.
