PYO update Aug 2
Posted 8/2/2016 6:17am by Sam Bellamy.

   With somewhat cooler weather picking blueberries is easier. The field will be open Wednesday and Friday mornings.7am to 11 am.

    Some of the best watermelons are coming off the farm now. Lots of peppers and eggplants. Take advantage of heirloom tomatoes before they slow down going into the next crop. They may be less plentiful just before the next crop of heirlooms come in.

    I enjoyed seeing and talking to several of you over the past days . Your support, feedback and thankful attitude makes serving people like you very rewarding. We thank you for being a part of us.

The year has been difficult to stay on schedule with a lot of shortage in man power. But good things are happening.
 The Blueberry fields have finally been mowed and are ready for you to pick Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings, 7:30 to 11:00 am.
This is fig season! The time for figs is now. The bulk of the crop will be harvested within 2 weeks.
We have a bounty of certain crops that you may want to take advantage of at great prices. The sweet small type of tomatoes such as grape, cherry, and baby roma and regular roma. There are some types of peppers available in larger quantities .
Cantaloupes and watermelons are coming in good as well. Peaches are really good now !! If you like peaches this is your time.
We have some interesting organic fingerling potatoes. Rose Fin Apple, Red Thumb and Austrian Crescent. These varieties have unique flavor.
Please note on Saturday there will be a scheduled event ( the Battle on the Border 5 mile run ) that will require PYO pickers to follow parking instructions more clearly. You should see a lot of fleet feet Saturday!

good news update June 29

 Yep, it is good news when you have the "Summer Sweet" corn to eat with any meal or try roasting some on a grill or fire. I am very fond of this variety of sweet corn. The company that bred and developed the Summer Sweet series went a different direction than most corn breeders have in the past decades. They put more emphasis on plant health and seed vigor rather than genetically modifying for insect and herbicide resistance. The results are a strong fast growing plant that lets all the energy, flavor and sweetness get to the kernels themselves. They did a fantastic job of getting the basics right. It shows in the corn you eat!

 Our tomatoes are slowly working their way in along with the cantaloupes and melons. eggplant and peppers are not far behind.

  Blueberry picking ( PYO) will open Thursday and Saturday mornings.

FYI everything we plant is non GMO and when buy produce we try to get non GMO if possible.
