The first flowers of blackberries were in bloom or close to it when the May 18 freeze occurred. They all froze. The later flowers have set fruit and we are patiently (some folks not so patiently) waiting for them to ripen. Normally we would be picking them now. We had hoped they’d be ready this week but that’s not happening. As soon as it looks like they are getting close to being ripe we will let you know, so stay tuned. We know how popular they are!
In the meantime, we have loads of ripe, large blueberries, and tons of red, black, purple and blush raspberries available for picking, and flowers and herbs available for cutting.
July 15-16 Weekend Update
We will be open Saturday July 15 from 9-3 for picking of blueberries and raspberries (red, black, purple and blush). Plants are loaded. Blackberries are not ready yet although we expect them to be ready later this coming week. Flowers and herbs are available for cutting.
We will be CLOSED Sunday July 16. We’ll re-open Wednesday at 9 am.

Strawberry Season
Strawberry season is right around the corner. Unfortunately, the freeze of May 18 killed our earliest strawberry variety flowers. So our pick-your-own season has been delayed until our later varieties are ripe. Stay tuned for another update, and thank you for understanding.
