Crop, price and anticipated farm closing date.
Red and black raspberries are in good supply.
Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are also in good supply. I’m thinking the beans are getting a little old on the plants.
I’ve further reduced the price on tomatoes and peppers. Quality sunflowers are available.
I’m thinking the farm will close for the year on October 1st.
Crop, pricing and farm schedule update for Sept. 5th
Red and black raspberries are in good supply. Tomatoes, peppers and beans are plentiful. Barely any blackberries left for picking.

Farm will be closed on Saturday September 9th and reopen on Sunday plus be open Monday and Tuesday that week.
Raspberry and farm schedule update, Sept 1.

Tomatoes continue to get more plentiful. The best slicing tomatoes are hidden in the bottoms of the plants.
Beans are plentiful. The Asian eggplants need a few days to size up. Some zucchini are available but no more cucumbers this year.

Blueberry update July 6th.
I’m adding a day to the schedule this week. The field will be open tomorrow July 7th and the original posted day of Sunday July 9th. All this adverse weather has me nervous that the blueberries might start cracking if I hold off until Sunday. I looks like there should be enough for both days.

The scale is new this year.
