MORE EXCELLENT PICKING SUNDAY JULY 23

Picking will be excellent for raspberries and very good for cherries tomorrow Sunday July 23.  Quite a lot of the Royalty (purple) raspberries are also ripe – they make outstanding jam, pie and cobbler.

Berry picking is excellent in both the three Boyne rows close to the raspberry house and towards the end of the three long Nova rows in the lower field.  Look under the leaves and in the center of the rows.  For cherries it is beginning to require more reaching, but there is plenty of fruit further down the rows.

As usual, we open at 9:00 and picking is always best earlier in the day.  We will be closed Monday and plan to be back open Tuesday.  Next week will be the last full week for the season.

Some neighbors got some nice berries and cherries

PEAK PICKING THIS WEEKEND

The warm weather has ripened LOTS of raspberries and the picking will be excellent tomorrow Saturday July 22.  There are also plenty of cherries.  Come early when it is cooler and picking is best.

We will be open Sunday July 23 as well – picking will be good to excellent.  We currently plan to close next Monday (July 24) and then reopen on Tuesday .

Next week will  be our last full week –  picking this weekend may be better than on later open days.  Royalty purple raspberries (great for jam and cobbler) are beginning to ripen and there will be more by mid week.

The picture shows some fruit we picked  today to freeze for ourselves – we have to make sure we get fruit before it is all picked.

CHANGES AGAIN – CLOSED THURSDAY JULY 20 -REOPEN FRIDAY JULY 21

The hot weather is ripening the berries faster than we realized, so we will reopen tomorrow Friday July 21 for both raspberries and cherries.

We will be open Saturday July 22 for sure – probably also on Sunday July 23, but that depends on how much is picked Friday & Saturday.  I will post again Saturday PM regarding status for Sunday.

Next week may be our last week for berries and cherries or we might go a few days into the following week – it all depends on the weather and how many pickers come.

OPEN TOMORROW WEDNESDAY JULY 19

Cherry picking will be excellent tomorrow Wednesday July 19.  Raspberry picking will be good in the morning – fair later in the day.

We will be closed Thursday July  20 and Friday July 21 for more berries to ripen – then back open Saturday July 22.

Picking is ALWAYS best in the morning – come when it is cooler.
