Its time for enjoying some of the best of the early summer fruits. We now have our You pick Blackberry patch open and it is full of nice ripe blackberries for jelly making, jams, desserts, and just eating out of hand. We open at 7 am. and that is the best time to pick these beauties before the heat really gets turned on. We are open everyday of the week except for Wednesdays and Sundays, so come and fill your buckets. We also offer berries that we pick for $3.00 a lb/ $2.00 a lb you pick. Our plants are thornless.
Hillcrest Farms has blueberries coming in as well as other fresh produce like tomatoes, squash, and fresh herbs. They are open for those wanting to pick blueberries on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays and their stand is open daily except for Tuesdays.
Cassebaums sweet corn is coming in, with fresh pickings every morning. They are closed on Sundays. Get there early for a bushel to fill the freezer.
Right now at local farm stands you can find tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, squash, peppers, onions, garlic, and eggplants. I have been picking fresh tomatoes, when I can save them from the stink bugs, and have already put up green beans and corn in my freezer. Two of my banana trees are flowering so by this fall I will have some delicious bananas for making puddings and breads.
