Less than a month before the picking season will start! Our farm is busy with preparations and expansions. The '09 season looks to be a heavy crop for both blueberries and apples.

This spring we added more Patriots, Duke and Polaris blueberry plants. We have also added Zestar! a new apple variety and planted more Honey Crisp trees. Two varieties of peaches have also been added this year.

We look forward to having pick your own peaches in a few years. You can also look forward to a few new surprises this season!

The '09 picking season hasn't started yet but we are already busy prepping for the 2010 plantings. All trees and plants must be ordered a year in advance. Before any can be ordered the land must be cleared and surveyed to find out how many will fit in that area.

All this adds up to a two year process, just to plant. After everything is planted it takes 3-5 years before the trees and plants will start to bear fruit ( we do not allow the plants and trees to bear fruit the first few years as it is unhealthy for them). It will take an additional 5-6 years after that for the plant to become fully mature. In approximately 12 years time the land shown in the picture on the left will have fully mature plants, provided mother nature works with us.

Our family would like to wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas, a Joyous and Happy Holiday Season and an absolutely great 2008!!

With heavy equipment we have started leveling and preparing the land cleared in 2006. This new section most likely will not be ready for planting in spring '08.

Snow fall has stopped excavating and will resume in the spring. Snow has not stopped the rest of the work to be done of course. Below we are removing Gall Wasp's from the Jersey plants.

Gall Wasp are insect that uses the plant has a host for the their cocoon shaped eggs. Apple pruning will start in January or as soon as they enter dormant stage.

We may do some fence repair in between that time.

June 22 - "There's No Food Like Home Food: 7 reasons to eat local food" a msn.com article, sharing some positives on locally grown food.

June 15 - All indications show a huge crop for the season. The '07 harvest may come early, possible as early as July 12. More information will be available in the upcoming weeks. Check back or call anytime 793-4749.

May 13 - Bloom has arrived earlier then usual (picture taken 5/13) due to warm temps over the past few days. The positive of an early Bloom means all stages start early. Resulting in an earlier harvest, giving us a better chance of selling the apples. However when in bloom the flower buds are very susceptible to cold temps. Any frost will result in a considerable amount of damage. If the temperature were to drop to 26 degrees or colder, 90% of the apple crop would be destroyed.

May 8 - Blueberry pruning is 3/4 complete. We are in the process of planting 1,000 new apple trees and blueberry plants. For apples we expanded our Macoun and Honey Crisp varieties. More Blue Crop and Duke blueberry plants were added. We also added an eighth variety, 500 Patriots were planted.

We have finished pruning of the apple trees and begun blueberry pruning. With over a foot of snow received on April 4 (picture on right taken April 6), pruning has been stopped until snow melts. Still snow on ground (with more in the forecast) but as of April 9 enough snow has melted to resume pruning. It has been slow going, some plants need to be "dug out" in order to be pruned

Still pruning apple trees. March has brought longer warmer days which is a nice change from the cold of January and February. With spring coming we need to finish apple pruning in order to start pruning blueberry plants.

We have just finished clearing another 10+ acres of land in anticipation of expanding our Blueberry fields. The land will take a few years before it will be ready for planting. A large amount of excavating will be needed before we are able to plant. The picture on the right shows the cleared land (on the right side of the picture above). The building/Store is on the right past the blueberry fields. Also a new picture was added on the pictures page (link on the left).

We have begun pruning the apple trees. Working conditions have been great due to the mild temps and no snow to slow the process.
