End of the Season

The end of strawberry season is upon us so the field will be shut. We thank you all for your support and hope to see you next year.

The raspberries are so pitiful as far as volume we aren't going to open up the field this year. We will have some next year in their new location where they won't get flooded. We are contemplating what to put in the old raspberry field. Of course it would need to like lots of water in the winter. We'll keep you posted.

Thanks again!

Opening Day

We will be opening the strawberry patch on Saturday, June 2nd. The new field won't be ready for picking yet but the other fields will be. We hope to see you all soon.

Planting Raspberries

With the help of  3 people all 750 new raspberries were planted last week. It only took a few hours. Of course, it turned out hot and dry since then and we've rushed around getting drip-lines on the rows to water them.  Hopefully the berries will like their new home and it will yield a better crop for us. Sadly part of the patch we started out with has completely died because of it being too wet. The crop will be more sparse this year since these new canes won't have a lot of yield on them, but next year should be abundant.
The strawberries are growing nicely and the older plants have been blooming like mad so we should have an excellent crop this year. Check in with us in 2-3 weeks for updates on when the strawberries are ready.

Spring Planting

After a long dry spell, or I should say wet spell since we are in Oregon, we are getting ready to plant more berries. We will be putting in 4000 more strawberries as well as moving the raspberry patch up by the house and planting new plants there. I was beginning to wonder if it would ever stop raining so the ground could dry up enough to prepare for the new plants that arrive in May; yikes! We will keep you posted as to when we open the fields. Hope to see you all soon.
