We will open for u-pick strawberries this afternoon June 28, 2023 at 2 pm. No morning picking today. We are coming toward the late part of peak strawberry season. Today has the potential to be the peak picking of the year. The berries are ripening fast now but they are mostly small so containers fill slowly this year. I expect the patch will go to gleaning status at some point next week. The first of the red raspberries are ready to pick. They are available on a first come basis during normal strawberry u-pick times. After strawberry season the raspberries will be available for u-pick on a first come basis on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday starting @ 10 am. The field zucchini season has begun.They are available at normal summer prices. We are picking the first of the peas. Greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers are at their peak production and this abundant moisure makes really nice lettuce. Picked strawberries are still extreemly scarce. The black raspberries are still 2 weeks out- the plants have a wonderful fruit set like a seed catalogue picture and with the rain it has the potential to be one of the biggest crops ever. Blueberry fruit set is also excellent. Daniel
