Blooms and Berries

It's a beautiful sight we have blueberries set and berries are growing getting for that time to be picked. We feel this will be a great crop, this year even with all the rain. We don't have a you pick operation but we do sell berries already picked. Our blackberries some are in early bloom and some have already full bloomed, hoping for a great crop. If interested you can call and order or e-mail us and we will get back with you as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing our blog.

Looks like we have had more WATER

After the storm hit us with we aren't sure how much rain, our planting plots are just soaked, we know their are alot of you that are in the same boat. The blueberry plants look good and we are hoping to have a great crop, the blackberry plants are really coming out so we hope the damage wasn't to great the land is alittle wet to get to them but will check on them as soon as we can. We are looking forward to our field trips we have planned this summer. We continue to make our jams and jellies and are attending several markets, we wish everyone a great 2009 growing season.

Freshing Things Up

It's that time of the year that we are getting things tuned, cleaned and ready to go. It soon will be time to get into the swing of plowing, tilling, and planting. We have had quite a bit of rain so our fields of new crops will have to wait awhile. But, our berry plants seem to have survived the winter, and seem to be looking toward Spring, we look forward to having a great crop of berries. We invite any of you to visit our farm, we offer a variety of jams and jellies, and baked goods upon request. You may call ahead, as to have them ready for you.
