Black raspberries and first sweet corn


Peak season for black raspberries is now. The patches are like a jungle. U-pick raspberry price is $3.75 pint for small amounts and $3 for 10 or more. If you pick a large amount 30+ price is $2 pint. There are also red raspberries to pick today. On the stand we have good stock of picked berries- black and red raspberries, a few gooseberrries, the last few strawberries and the first blueberries. The first 30 dozen local organic sweet corn is here today as supplies last. (90 cents an ear or $9 dozen) We are overstocked on lettuce again as the weather has been good for lettuce. We are going to have a free head of lettuce cart out again today. The u-cut flowers are starting to have a nice amount of flowers ready to cut. They are available free for non commercial purposes again this year. Cut some to make your table beautiful and if you are so inclined also cut some for someone else such as an older shut in person or just to use as an excuse to stop in to someone that you judge could use your friendly face in their lives. If you are doing something with the flowers that makes you money then we would appreciate a donation. It is cucumber season and there is is a good selection of cucumbers and pickles here today ranging from cheap seconds to high end little picklers. I also have $7 boxes of zucchini again today. Daniel
