STRAWBERRY UPDATE for TUESDAY, May 23rd, and the next couple of days. The Strawberry Patch is CLOSED but the Market will STILL be OPEN. There’s other crops growing on the farm too! BLUEBERRIES and BLACKBERRIES are coming along nicely. TOMATOES growing well too! They’re not ready yet, but we’ll let you know when.
Hey Folks, we had a busy day of Strawberry Picking at the Farm Saturday! Y’all did an awesome job of picking and we are picked out! Thanks to everyone who came out and picked STRAWBERRIES Saturday! The PATCH will be CLOSED for Picking Tuesday (not sure about after Tuesday, but PROBABLY Wednesday as well) as we wait for more STRAWBERRIES to RIPEN. The Strawberry Patch will open at some point this week, just not sure when.
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 Tuesday and probably Wednesday as well. We will know more Tuesday evening. We will post an update Tuesday 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.
Tuesday at the Market we will still have everything but the Strawberries:
Milk, FRESH from South Mountain Creamery is here! PLENTY of everything:
