Blossoms and Berries

A cool start to the month of June has pushed back typical harvest dates by 1-2 weeks.  As farmers, we are constantly balancing the things that we can control and the things we cannot.  The past few weeks have been heavy on the side of things we cannot control...frost warnings, heavy rain and cool daytime and night temperatures.  Small green fruits are abundant on our strawberry plants as we analyze the changes and scour the fields for ripe berries.  For now we play the waiting game, for fruit to ripen and picking to begin!
