We just can't get enough of this beautiful weather and neither can our crops! Slowly but surely everything is starting to catch up now.
We picked the first crop of our sweet Spanish onions today. We've also started picking our zucchini and the cole crops are looking great.
We're continuing with weeding (still done by hand!) this week to stay on top of it so our fields aren't overrun.
Our blueberries are just starting to ripen, we will be netting them this week to protect the berries from the birds.Â
The strawberry season is still going strong. We're having the best year we've ever had for strawberries. There are lots still needing to be picked in the fields and the berries are so sweet and juicy!
Our pick your own strawberry patch is open again this week, Monday - Friday 7:00 am - 8:00 pm, 7:00 am - 6:00 pm Saturday and 7:00 am - 5:00 pm Sunday.
