Hello Summer!
Happy Father's Day!

Memorial Day!
Our u-pick is closed for the season.
We want to thank all our friends and customers ( repeat and new ) who came to support our farm! We appreciate everyone single one of you!
We especially want to thank our u-pick station helpers, Heather and Eugene, with their ready smiles and assistance. We couldn’t handle the u-pick with them.
We would, also, like to thank Juan, Jose and their family for helping throughout the year.
We are excited and looking forward to our 2023 u-pick season! :)
This is our last week for u-pick. :(
Wednesday & Saturday. 7:30 AM - Noon or picked out.
You might find a few peaches, but, they are mostly gone for the season. We will have thornless blackberries.
2022 was a pretty good year, despite the numerous hard freezes, the overwhelming larger number of migrating birds that ate so many of the blueberries and wild hogs digging and damaging the rows of blueberries. :(
Hoping 2023 will be better.
Blackberries!
The blackberries are coming in nicely! :)
Our recommendations for picking and storing peaches.
Always pick the biggest, non-blemished peaches.
Upon returning to your home, remove the peaches from the plastic bag. All fruits and vegetables will perish, if left in a plastic bag too long without refrigeration.
Rinse your peaches with cool water. Although we do not spray anything on our fruits, dust, debris and spores may cling to the fuzzy skin of peaches.
Look for any blemishes from bug bores or bird pecks. You may have to deal with these peaches quickly as they will perish sooner. It is important to separate these peaches from the rest of the peaches.
If you would like your peaches to ripen a little more, leave out in the open at room temperature.
If you would like to preserve your peaches as they are, store loosely in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
