You’ll need a different bucket, as they’re a different price than strawberries…they’re $4.50/lb. As for strawberries, we still have a lot of really nice berries left […]

Hi everyone, Just checking in. Wow, this has been a crazy spring. Between the massive temperature changes and this whole virus thing, I miss normal. Though, I guess, maybe crazy weather is actually normal for Ohio these days. Things started out really warm, the trees started to get going, then…WHAM…majorly cold. Now that we’re warming […]

This post is a little late, as we FINALLY (fingers crossed) seem to be drying out a little, but I wanted to share some of the challenges that come with being a farmer. The last few weeks have been pretty rough if you’re a farmer in Ohio. The current joke is that Ohio has been […]

Hi everyone, It’s been another wet week (you can see as much from some of my photos below), but overall, things aren’t looking to bad. We thankfully avoided almost all of the hail that slammed a lot of our area a couple nights ago. Hail can be devastating to a fruit farmer even this early […]
