The fruit is ripening up!

We are pleased that the fruit is ripening up nicely. We anticipate to be picking our crab apples starting next week! We then hope to start picking the gravenstein apples, bartlett pears and prima apples soon after. We are also excited to be offering our Italian Prune Plums for sale this year, after a few bad years in a row.

It has been decided that we will be offering two weekend U-pick dates for our blackberries at the farm this year. Dates to be announced this weekend! If you would like to come pick blackberries with ease of no traffic zipping by, no road dust and who knows what other chemicals on the berries let us know!! We will be offering picked blackberries also if you are interested in that drop us a line.

Prices for our early season fruit are:

Crab Apples: $1.00 per pound
Gravenstein Apples: $1.25 per pound
Bartlett Pears: $0.75 per pound
Bramley Apples: $1.25 per pound
Prima Apples: $1.00 per pound
