Monday afternoon March 10

Whoaaaaaa, lets slow'er down just a bit.  The Strawberries are not ripening fast enough for good picking.  Last weekend folks pulled thousands of pounds of Strawberries each day, today about 300 and that has been hard picking.  We had a slight freeze this morning but the sun is out now and we are warming up nicely.  I believe we will continue to ripen a few hundred pounds each day ----- which is not enough to meet Spring Break demand.  If coming only for Strawberries - the earlier the better each day. This week is some Spring Breaks, next week is more and no rain days are in the forecast coupled with the earliness in the season = rough picking for the next two weeks.  I believe it will be toward the end of March before we become overwhelmed with Berries.
    Tulips - the heat is doing a number on them.  We couldn't sleep at night if we charged admission to this years field.  Therefore the Tulips are $2.50 per bloom and no admission.  
     Ranunculus - about to pop!  They are getting close and we expect to be in them by Saturday.

    This weekend the Sweet Shack concessions will be open offering our amazing Strawberry Lemonade!  The Farmmade Ice Cream and Popsicles will be delicious, the goats will be hungry and we will be waiting for you to have some good ole fashioned Farm Fun with us.
