Update for July 20th:

Blueberries – Blueberries are currently closed but will reopen for Friday & Saturday of this week. Blueberry season will last through early August but we may only be open a couple days per week so PLEASE check before you come. We only have about 50% of a crop on blueberries this year due to a freeze in mid-March. This was an extremely rare event for blueberries as we have not had any significant loss of blueberries to frost or freeze in decades. Read more about how the March Freeze affected our crops. Our PYO customers will have the first priority for blueberries, so you’ll get the best of what we have this year! Our market is carrying delicious blueberries from New Jersey.

Nectarines – are open now! We are planning for them to be open through Wednesday, July 26, closed for a bit and then open again in mid-late August.

Red & Black Raspberries – we have just a few left. We expect to close them this Saturday (7/22). Some red raspberries will return again this fall.

Black Raspberries –will have limited scattered picking today but we are nearing the end of the season.

Blackberries – limited picking now but they are starting to increase. It is looking as though peak season will hit the 2nd and 3rd week of August.

Yellow Peaches – will open again tomorrow, Friday July 21st and we should be able to be open daily now for yellow peaches. Be advised that it is a bit of a walk (about 200 yards) from the parking and check-in area and we will not be running a shuttle yet. We do have wagons you can use to haul your peaches. This is the beginning of the main season varieties and most are freestone when ripe though a few may still stick to the seed a little.

White Peaches – are not ripening as fast as yellow peaches. It is looking like our first day will be delayed until Saturday, July 29th. We may not be able to have white peaches open daily until on or around August 9th, but when they arrive we will have LOTS of white peaches in mid-late August.

Donut Peaches – will be open this Saturday, July 22nd through next Wednesday, July 26th.

Black Raspberry Picking Tips

Avoid all the red berries. They are not red raspberries, just unripe black ones! Pick only berries that are such a deep purple they are almost black.
Ripe black raspberries separate from the bush easily. You should be able to just roll your fingers across them into your bucket.
Don’t fill containers too full. The berries are delicate and will crush easily, especially on a hot summer day. If you need more containers, we’re happy to supply them!
