status of farm 5/15/20

Farm and market is expected to be open Sat. 5/16/20, regular hours from 7:30am til 1:00pm. U-Pick will be only available for thornless blackberries, but NO VEGETABLE PICKING due to rain we received this afternoon. The berry fields are covered in grass and drain much better than the plowed ground in the vegetable fields, as you can see in these photos taken 6:00 pm Friday 5/15/20 after the rain.

Blackberry fields, right after the rain Friday afternoon 5/15/20. This field should be well drained by Saturday morning, 5/16/2020.

Tex-Star Peaches still maturing, but not ready for the farmer to pick and sell in the market. They have color, but will about double in size when they are fully mature. This is one reason we don't have U-Pick peaches--just because they have color, doesn't mean they are anywhere near ready to pick. The farmer will pick them at the optimum time.
