| May 21, 2006 - Berries in blossom |
|
Strawberries should be available beginning June 10. Our earliest varieties of raspberries are in flower, attracting the hardworking native bees to their innermost nether regions for pollination and berry making. The blessed event being expected sometime around the last week of June. Blueberries must have had an absolutely fabulous winter as the blossom set is phenominal. If you ever have the opportunity to stand downwind of a blueberry field in flower you should, the fragrance is subtle yet captivating. Those we will expect to start picking mid-July. Keep your radio dialed to this station all the latest update of local berries.

|
Strawberries wound down in the second week of July just as raspberries and blueberries were winding up. Fresh raspberries and blueberries are now available in all our markets.

| May 1, 2005 - Fine Warm Weather |
|
With the fine warm weather we had in Feburary and March we were expecting an earlier season than last year for this years strawberry harvest. But with the first three weeks of April raining almost continuously and cooling things down we have had to push our projection back a little.
Last year we started picking strawberries on the 24th of May and we suspect it might be about the same time again this year. Raspberries should follow about the first week in July and blueberries a couple of weeks after that. Who knows though ?
Trying predict the harvest date at this point is like trying to predict what the weather will be like a month from now. Please check in for more specific information in mid May.
