We have now closed the farm to the public for the year. Time for pruning, planting and doing all that is necessary to help the plants produce fantastic fruit next year…and hopefully for us to get away for a while as well!
It has been a good season despite the lack of raspberries and never having enough strawberries or cherries. Planting more depends on the soil not being too wet, so let’s hope September’s rain does not continue through the winter.
Thank you to all our wonderful customers who come from near and far, year after year. And a warm welcome and thank you to those who joined us for the first time, we hope it won’t be your last!
Enjoy the fruits you have preserved and we look forward to seeing you all again next summer.
Tom
