pre-Weekend Update: (6/10, 6/11 & 6/12, 2022)

​Open Friday, Saturday & Sunday (6/10, 6/11, and 6/12/22) for LOTS of U-Pick thornless blackberries, veggies, zinnias and sunflowers. FRIDAY 6/10/22 IS LAST DAY FOR U-PICK PEACHES TIL NEXT VARIETY IS RIPE. RIPENING DATE FOR NEXT VARIETY WILL BE ANNOUNCED HERE WHEN KNOWN. But we do have LOTS of delicious pre-picked peaches for sale in the market Friday, Sat. and Sunday ‘til sold out. Now is the time to pick blackberries from the LOADED vines—frequent temps over 100 cook the exposed berries on the vine. Berries protected from the sun by leaves may be available but much harder to pick than those ripe now. So come on out and pick berries while the pickin’ is easy. For sale in the market we have: first of the season watermelons (red and yellow meat), Dill ($2.00/bunch), green tomatoes, grape & cherry tomatoes, cantaloupes (super-sweet Dove and Pecos types), butternut squash, sunflowers, zucchini, okra seeds, peach BBQ wood and oak firewood. Please see photo of yellow sign for complete listing of what is available (and not available) for U-Pick. Hours the rest of this week (unless rained out, which is not likely): Fri, Sat., Sun. (June 10, 11 & 12, 2022) 7:30am-1:00pm. Pickers must check in before 12:30pm and weigh/pay by our 1:00pm sharp closing time. PLEASE BRING SHEARS/CLIPPERS FOR CUTTING FLOWERS AND SOME VEGGIES. Peach pickers, please note that you may PICK ONLY FROM TREES WITH ORANGE FLAGGING TAPE ATTACHED (others have unripe fruit). 

Thornless blackberries, freestone peaches, and various sunflowers: recipe for a great weekend!

Yellow sign on post lists U-pick available, and not available, for Friday, June 10. Pro-picker tip: take a picture of this sign and refer to it in the field. There is also a map on the website that helps with navigation around the farm.
