mid-season scheduling starts this week!

6/29/2023

 
We are shifting to our mid-season scheduling, so will be only open about three days per week for a while. Open 7:30am-1:00pm for the following days: Friday 6/30/23; Saturday 7/1/23; Wednesday 7/5/23; Thursday 7/6/23; Saturday 7/8/23. CHECK WEBSITE HOMEPAGE BEFORE YOU COME OUT TO BE SURE WE ARE OPEN. Blackberry season won't be for much longer, so U-Pick blackberries may only last though next weekend and after that we may have a few later producing berries, but nowhere the volume we have now. Figs are doing well, but they are so weather-reactive we never know very far in advance how many we will have, so get them while you can. Muscadine grapes are still a few weeks from ripening. Heat is also affecting the veggies, so for now we have for U-Pick: yellow squash, scallop squash, zucchini, okra, carrots, slicing cucumbers, dill, green onions (few tops, mostly pick for planting), radishes, peppers, tomatoes (any color ok to pick), zinnias and LOTS of Eggplant. The Butternut squash, acorn squash and cushaw are sold pre-picked, but not for U-Pick. Bring CLIPPERS to cut zinnias, bell peppers, eggplant and dill. PLEASE DON’T PICK SQUASH BLOSSOMS. PLEASE CHECK IN AT MARKET before picking. Pickers must check-in before 12:30pm and weigh/pay by 1:00pm sharp closing time. CASH/MC/VISA/AMEX accepted for all purchases, but check-in is usually quicker with cash. No pets/No checks please. Sorry, no picnic areas. You may bring your own box but please line with plastic bag for removal when weighing. This farm is our livelihood, so every ounce counts—PLEASE WEIGH AND PAY BEFORE EATING. 21104 Binford Rd., Waller, TX 77484
