Strawberries are running very late this year, due to the very cool spring.  We are beginning to see some signs of hope, but right now we are estimating the season to start sometime around the MIDDLE of July.

Most people don't probably remember, but the 2008 picking season officially began on July 9, so even though we are running late, it isn't entirely unusual, though the berries this year are running later than we have seen in the last 18 years.  As just stated, It appears that we should begin picking around the middle of July, which seems rather non-specific, but about the best we can say for now until we actually get closer to ripening.  It may turn out to be an interesting year, since we have some berries in blossom and others still coming out of dormancy.  Will we have a longer season than usual or what will happen?  Time will tell, but all we can do now is eagerly await the ripening of those delicious little nuggets.  We will try to keep you updated on the progress.

The rest of the "garden" is finally flourishing.  New growth is seen daily.  In fact we are wondering if we might have tomatoes ripen (out of the high tunnels, not outside)before the strawberries ripen?  It should be close.  Exciting times, really!                                      

If you would like more specific information about what is happening on the farm, please call or write, and we will let you know what we know at the time.

Hope to see you soon!!
