What are we picking today

The Berry Patch is open today from 8 am to 5 pm.

 

On our picking scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the best picking) we are now at a 10. You can fill a gallon bucket in about 20 minutes. Yes we have lots of berries right now… however the volume of berries will start to decrease in next 10 days to 2 weeks. If you need lots of berries to freeze, you need to come soon.  The best time for picking is between 8 AM and noon. Sugar content of the berries is higher in the morning, plus you can beat at least some of the heat (making it much more comfortable for the pickers). Kids and grandkids are welcome, put please No Pets in the orchard.

 

Pre-picked berries are also available. The best way to get pre-picked berries is to call or email and place an order for pick up. Check our website for daily availability. Pre-picked berries are $6.00 per quart.

Peaches

Still picking Harvester freestone peaches. Some of our other freestone peaches will be coming off in a couple weeks. Our White Delite peaches will also start to ripen in a week or 10 days. You can pre order peaches  for pickup…..a sackful (4-5 lbs.) or a box full (8-10lbs). Call or email us…be sure and leave your name and phone number. 

 

We are out of plums at the current time.


Have farm fresh made peach , blackberry and Spooky Berry jelly…..also blackberry and peach syrup.

 

Have a wonderful day
