Hello!
Here it is,
the email you’ve been waiting for… we are opening for pick your
own strawberries today, and will also have them available picked
on the stand. It looks like it could be an extended season as
we still have many berries just blooming now, and we’ll be open
daily 9-6 for the next 3-4 weeks or longer until they are done.
If you are coming for pre-picked berries, give us till 10am or
so to get a bunch picked and onto the stand.
As with
other years, it is a rolling start to the season. They start
out slowly and then pretty soon the field is bursting with
them. We are confident there are plenty of berries for the
weekend, but to avoid disappointment, PLEASE, check our website
before heading over if you plan to come today or tomorrow. If
it looks like it is getting to be slim pickings for the day, I
will post that on our website and on Facebook. After Sunday we
should have them in total abundance and we won’t be able to keep
up with picking them no matter how many strawberry lovers show
up.
It is
probably silly to even mention that, but we are always anxious
to be sure we’ll have happy customers.
I do
recommend, if you plan to pick en masse for jam, freezing, etc,
that you maybe wait a week or so, until we are at peak
production…you know, the time when you can squat down and fill a
quart or two without having to stretch your arms!
As always,
we provide quart baskets for you to pick into at no extra
charge. Feel free to return baskets/boxes still in decent
shape, we’ll gladly re-use them to display our produce later in
the season.
Peas are not
ready yet- they are still a few weeks away. I’ll let you know
when they are ready.
Have a
wonderful weekend and hope to see you soon!
Best
regards,
Sam and
Laura (who are headed up to the stand to start picking!!!)
Not
getting our email? sign up on the left on the top. If you
signed up at the stand at least a week ago and have not received
an email, please submit your email in the box in the upper left-
I may have mistyped your email when entering it. Our email
comes about once a week in season to let you know what is new on
the stand, some recipe ideas, and random farm thoughts from
Laura. :)
