This month: NOVEMBER 2017
HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2017
10 AM TO 2 PM
come see what's new, sample our products, visit with friends and find wonderful holiday gifts
The berries have been put to bed for the season. It's been a blinding fast year! Everything started blooming early and I just tried to keep up! We were able to meet our customers' berry tastes with red raspberries and blueberries starting in mid June through October with the fall bearing berries.
The tart cherries which I tell everyone - cherry pie/fourth of July - was way off this year.
The cherries were picked, pitted and put away by the first of July. It was one of our best years for tart cherries. I hope you were able to get some for yourselves! This was the first year to offer u-pic for black raspberries. It worked beautifully and more are scheduled for planting.
The blueberries are now 8 years old and the past 2 years have produced abundant, sweet fresh berries. I spent a good part of March prunning them and the efforts were evident throughout the season.
This year the blackberries started out too early with the warm weather and were set back a little by the long period of heat. They hit their stride in July and our u-pic customers found their fill. There was plenty to make this year's Blackberry Jam.
If you are in our area and want to stop by and checkout what's new in the Berry Building,
call us at 515 961 7252.
Seasonal hours for Tuesdays and Thursdays are 8 am to 1 pm. Saturday hours 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday hours 1 pm to 5 pm remain the same.
The farm closed for the season in October and will reopen in late May.
