Hello out there! Time to wake up from the winter doldrums and dormancy.
It has been a busy time these last few months. We have been building a new field packaging facility so we can sort, clean and get fresh fruit to market even faster than before. Our old homestead building, which we have lovingly been shoring up and restoring over the years, is now an even better functioning cool storage than before thanks to new siding. So we're working on being ready for what looks like a large and beautiful crop this year. We held off on pruning until mid-March due to the cold but even without an early prune the plants are loaded with fruit buds in all the right places. The soil is clean and fertile, the bees have arrived just in time to pollinate the fruit blossoms and the bird nets are ready to go. So come on sunshine.
We've also been working on a new blueberry product-in-the-jar for you. It should make its debut in May so keep your eyes open for our saucilicious blueberry concoction that can be used for anything from a chunky syrup, to a dessert sauce, to a pie filling! Our Store will be getting a facelift this spring with easier purchasing options.
We're looking forward to seeing you all again this Spring and Summer.
