Summer 2010
Happy Summer everyone...
As I write this note to you I know that soon the days will be full enough that I will not post another greeting until the late summer or early fall, after our harvest is completed. In the past few months our farm has been successfully re-inspected by the WSDA Organic Food Program and we're preparing for our visit from the Stewardship Partners/Salmon Safe program. Our spring buds have set and we are expecting a beautiful crop this year. The fruit held well through the winds and rain of late spring and the advent of warm weather brings a smile to all of our faces. We are excited to be opening our farm again and look forward to seeing you soon.
The farm stand has been rebuilt and the tent has been replaced! You'll find a small white building with red trim, a porch and refrigerated fresh fruit available by the roadside, along with honey, farm T-shirts, and Spartan and Rubel plants in gallon size. We are accepting WIC at the farm stand this year.
Fresh fruit should be available in mid-July. We will have u-pick fruit at the farm this year subject to weather (no picking when it's raining...) and crop availability. Please check our Products page and U-Pick page for fruit descriptions and harvesting dates. You can check our phone message line for current information.
We will continue our Saturday morning fruit stand in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle at the corner of 34th Ave. West and West McGraw. We are very visible and hope to see our Seattle customers there. Along with this you can find us in the Meadowbrook Farmers Market in North Seattle on Sundays, Bellevue Farmers Market on Saturdays, Arlington Farmers Market on Saturdays, or the new Olympic Sculpture Park Market in Seattle on Thursdays. (Check the listing at the right for times, locations, and market links).
If you have the time and inclination for a beautiful summer drive check out the Day's Adventure page, print a map and come visit us. Come ready to pick or just relax in the swings or at the picnic table. Either way, we'd love to see you at the farm this summer.
Have a safe, healthy and fun summer,
Valerie and Tom Wall
