Strawberries


We will be open for strawberry picking at 7 AM tommorrow (Monday) morning. I just was walking around and looking things over. The strawberries were picked very hard yesterday including some of the green tip berries that should have been for tommorrow. This along with the fact that it is still early in the season means the picking is not going to be real good and probably will not last long in the morning. I see about 300 -400 quarts for tommorrow. The next picking after tommorrow will be Wednesday afternoon starting at 2 PM. (no morning picking on Wed.)The time period from June 25 -July 2 is when the berries will be the most abundant.
The online market is open for orders. We have garlic scapes now. I found a simple way to fix them that is good. I just put a bit of oil into the blender and chopped the scapes into the oil along with a bit of salt. It makes a nice pesto type of thing. I used it as a spread on my sandwich or it can go into any recipe that wishes for a mild fresh garlic flaver. Daniel
