PYO Wrap-up

Today will be the last day of PYO strawberries for the season. Once again, thanks to everyone who came to pick. It was a great season and we hope you enjoyed yourselves.

The roadstand remains open for the rest of the week with berries and cherries.

The ice cream stand will remain open daily throughout the summer and we've frozen enough berries to make strawberry sundaes until next June!

Strawberry season is drawing to a close. This weekend (6/26-6/27) will most likely be the last weekend for PYO for the season. Monday we officially go on "day-by-day" status, so if you're planning on trying to pick next week be sure to call before you leave to make sure you're not disappointed when you get here.

Thanks to everyone who's already been here picking for making it a great season. Turnout was fantastic. We hope you all enjoyed picking (and eating) all those berries. We'll see you next June!

Blueberries are in

Blueberries are now available at the roadstand.

We're estimating about a week left for strawberries which falls short of our hopes to make it to July 4th. This is all due to both the warm spring which brought on an early crop as well as the late frost that hindered the quantity of good fruit.

To summarize, now available at the roadstand:
Strawberries
Cherries
Raspberries
Blueberries
(some) Apples/Cider
Honey and Maple Syrup (as always)

Cherries are ready!

I get almost as excited for cherry season as I do for strawberries. Partly because I have cherry trees right next to my house and after work I pick a hand full and sit in my lawn chair with a drink munching cherries and seeing how far I can spit the pits.

But I digress.

Cherries are now available at the roadstand right next to the strawberries. Grab a quart of each and add some diversity to your fruit bowl!

(Sorry, Cherries are not available for PYO. We don't want you getting hurt on the ladders.)

Strawberry Update- pt2

Turns out we were able to save a percentage of earlier berries, so the previous estimation was (happily) way off. We are scouting the patches daily to determine how many we berries have ready for picking. At this point we're unsure if we have enough to warrant opening, so the store will be closed at least for today.

Check back regularly as the status of the roadstand is "day-to-day" and we'll surely sell out early for the first few days.
