STRAWBERRY UPDATE for end of SATURDAY, May 20th, and the beginning of NEXT week. BUT there’s other crops growing on the farm too! SWEET CORN is on Schedule for last week of June!
Hey Folks, we had a busy day of Strawberry Picking at the Farm today! Y’all did an awesome job of picking and we are picked out! Thanks to everyone who came out and picked STRAWBERRIES today! Remember we are CLOSED on Sundays. The PATCH will be CLOSED for Picking Monday and Tuesday (not sure about after Tuesday, but PROBABLY Wednesday as well) as we wait for more STRAWBERRIES to RIPEN.
PLEASE check our posts before coming to pick. We are making decisions daily on picking conditions and whether or not we will have pre-picked. We want you to have the BEST picking experience possible and to pick the BEST Strawberries possible, so we are making these decisions daily.
The Market will still be OPEN Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. and Saturday 8am-5pm.
We will not have Pre-Picked Berries on Monday and Probably Tuesday as well. We will know more Monday evening. We will post an update Monday evening on the Strawberry Availability. As soon as the Strawberries Ripen and there’s enough volume, we will open the Patch again for picking.
The Good news is that there are lots of BLOOMS and GREEN STRAWBERRIES in the Patch. We just have to wait for them to ripen. So don’t worry, there’s still PLENTY of time to pick! It’s kind of been an interesting Season. We haven’t had a flush of berries yet. Just slow steady ripening. But that’s good too. We’re getting blessed with a longer season.
Monday at the Market we will still have everything but the Strawberries:
Milk, FRESH from South Mountain Creamery is here! PLENTY of everything:
Whole Milk, 2%, Chocolate, Half and Half, HEAVY CREAM, Buttermilk, Assorted Cheeses, Butter, Assorted Flavors of Homestyle, Creamy Ice Cream.
