Apple picking is still happening! Couple weeks more.

Updated:  All blueberry plants have sold.  Thank you!

We have some nice blueberry plants to sell!  We had to remove some from our fields for various reasons so we wanted to give you the opportunity to enjoy them!  We have about 25 of them left.

There are 4 year old Legacy and Aurora varieties which are a later season ripening blueberry.  Legacy is ready to harvest throughout August, and Aurora is Mid August to Early September. $20 per plant

We also have some smaller Duke blueberry plants that we had left from replanting some spots in our fields this fall if you are interested in those.  Dukes are ready to harvest the end of June through part of July.  $10 per plant for Dukes.

Now back to apples!  Yes we STILL have apples :)

Still available:

Pink Lady

Gold Rush

Granny Smith

Braeburn

This time of the season we will usually have pre-picked buckets available for you at the entrance of the orchard if you are just not feeling up to picking that day!  $12/per bucket.

You are also welcome to call ahead for us to pick you some apples if you want more than a couple buckets at a time!  We are happy to do that.  Just call and leave a message at 503-393-1077 or email us at BeilkeFF@gmail.com.

Other Farm Happenings:

The blueberry fields are starting to turn their fall colors.  Soon the leaves will fall to the ground and it will be pruning time.

We also need to spread sawdust in one of our fields that we didn't get to last year.  We spread it at the base of the blueberry plants.  Blueberry plants grow the healthiest when they have lots of the little fine shallow roots present, so it is worth the effort.  Plus it helps reduce evaporation in the summer when it is hot out and reduces the weed presence!

We will also be making our "winter list" that gives us direction once winter comes.  Helps us prioritize what needs fixed first, and reminds us of all the small repairs and improvements that need done here and there to make harvest time run smoothly.

Well we need to keep working away.  Thanks for checking in!

Raindrops raining on your head.

It definitely feels like fall around here!  But I am kinda loving it so far. :) We do still have apples left!

You won't have any problem finding Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Gold Rush and Braeburn.  A large amount of all these left. (Again, walk to the orange cones in each row and there you will find loaded trees of apples.  Granny Smith doesn't need a cone yet because there are so many!)

(For Braeburn, we have a long single row of these, and also a cluster of trees planted in a triangle shape in the Southeast corner.  They are right along Pueblo St actually.)

Jonagold and Melrose: There are a small amount left.  Walk to the far end of both these rows and you will find some down there.

 More pictures of our great customers!!

Just a quick update.

Happy Friday! Not too much change to tell you about but wanted to give you an update for if you are coming out today or this weekend.

Most plentiful rows:  Gold Rush, Pink Lady, Granny Smith.

Apple rows that still have many apples but you need to walk to the far end to find them:  Melrose, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Jonagold, Braeburn.

Some Ruby Jon left, also walk to the farthest end.  I tried one today.  While the flesh is starting to turn softer, the flavor is amazing.  Wow.  I think they would make some even more amazing applesauce than 2 weeks ago.

Fujis are close to being all picked.  There are some smaller ones left on the 3 main Fuji rows.  Also bend down and look under the leaves into the tree.  These apples are kind disguised since they are a pale color.  We have 4 other trees in the older section, so ask and we will take you to them!  One of the trees hasn't even been touched yet.

Enjoy your weekend!
