Tuesday afternoon 4/22

Please remember: The Farm is closed all Wednesdays.
   Today was busier than I expected.  Quite a few folks came out and picked a few Strawberries but it was not easy picking.  Gone are the days when the berries jump in your box.  Picking now takes effort and is a hunt.  The other afternoon I saw a man come up with a full box of red berries.  I looked on in amazement as I said "wow, congratulations on finding nice berries at this time of day".  He said "It was easy, I just moved the leaves around and looked in the center of the plants.  Everyone else is just walking right on by the berries".  Thursday morning is always the best day to pick because we are closed Wednesday.  This week will be the same but it will not be great picking, probably a hunt.  I believe we will be in a pattern the next few weeks where we pick 100 or 200 pounds per day but that will be spread out over 8 miles worth of Strawberry row.
    The Farm will continue to be open with activities for the children, hungry goats, lots of space to run.  Folks are still having a great time and without many Strawberries - it is a less expensive visit.
   A chance of rain tonight which will be nice as the last rain has soaked in so be prepared for a little mud if coming Thursday   Hope to see you soon!
