Picking will be good tomorrow morning (July 12) and will probably be moderate later in the day as more people pick. Following our new schedule, we will be closed Friday and back open Saturday.
Cherries will start Saturday – relatively small crop, so between the Cedar Waxwings and the customers, they will not be available too long.
Help us get the crop picked.
We will be open as planned tomorrow Tuesday July 10. We saw a lot of good folks on Sunday. Still early in the season so picking conditions are moderate.
To help customers plan (and ourselves as well), we are going to a standard weekly picking schedule to be open 9:00 to 5:30 Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday if berry supply permits. This will be our default schedule – if weather or berry supply requires a change, we will do so.
I will continue to post frequently with picking conditions – as always best picking is early in the day.
Look forward to seeing you
The hot weather has helped ripen the raspberries, so we will open Sunday July 8 – at 9:00 AM. As always, picking will be best early in the day.
More ripe berries in the lower field than in the upper field. Plan is to be open Sunday, closed Monday and back open Tuesday July 10. Open days for the rest of the week will depend on how many customers come and how fast more berries ripen.
Come help us start the season.
Lots of raspberries – but they are still green. Not clear how fast they will ripen with the hot weather – we are running our irrigation system day and night. Best guess is that berries will not be ripe before Tuesday July 10 .
Apples in the photo are Honeycrisp – now over 1 inch in diameter.
Very light cherry crop – will ripen a few days after the first raspberries.
I will post update in a few days.
We had very good pollination for both the apples and the raspberries – cherry crop is very light.
Many of the apples are now 3/4 of an inch in diameter or more – the smaller ones will drop off in the June drop.
Raspberries will be ripe in July 7 to 11’th range – we will know more first week in July.
Put us on your July schedule – raspberry season only lasts three weeks.
