The hot weather is sticking with us through the weekend. We suggest putting off picking until Monday when the weather is back to normal. We still have a few Gravensteins available and starting Monday we will also open up the Gala rows and the tomatoes for u-pick!
Hope to see you all starting Monday!
RIPE AND READY:
Gravenstein
We are having a lot of fun getting ready for the 2021 Season! The apples are looking great and set to be ready around the middle of August. Our tomato walls are taking shape and will also be ready, along side the tomatoes, the middle of August. Last year we sold out of pumpkins the week before Halloween, so this year we have doubled our pumpkin crop and added in even more fun variety in shape and color.
Our tomato and pumpkin plants are rotated in our field every year to keep our soil at its healthiest. This years rotation left us with some open space at the front of the field. We were excited to brainstorm some new ideas on how to fill those empty spaces. One of our ideas, that we planted this week, is U-pick Watermelon! That’s right, this year you can come out to the farm and pick your own watermelon right from the field!
We have some other ideas for the rest of the space and will post about them as soon as they are planted as well.
Can’t wait to see you all!
Blossoms are in full bloom and our seasonal workers have arrived! These bees sure work hard and it is just fascinating to watch them in action. Excited for Spring to be in full swing and that much closer to another apple season!
