Fresh Raspberries Coming Soon
It has been awhile since we have updated the news letter. We had a busy Spring this year because we had to completey redo our irrigation system on the whole farm. The irrigation company put in a new pressurized pipeline into Hidden Valley. It took us awhile to get everything connected onto the new system, but it is really nice once we got it all running. We had to convert all of the raspberries to drip irrigation. They are on an auotmatic timer so they get watered a little bit every day. It sure has made it a lot easier and the raspberries are looking great.
We have had some calls wondering if we were still doing the raspberries. Our sign blew down out at the highway during a strong wind storm in May. People didn't see the sign up any more and they assumed that we weren't doing them. We are working on the sign right now and should have it back up in a few days.
The raspberries are blossoming now and there a few berries starting to set on. It looks like the will be ready about the 10th of August. They are a little bit later this year because it was so cool in May. We will keep you posted as to when they will be ready to pick.
We are also doing the sweet corn again this year. It is also a little bit later because of the weather. We planted the same variety again this year. It has been a good producer and we really like the quality. We will let you know when it is available, too.
We still have all of our raspberry products available. You can buy them here at the farm or at one of our retail stores. You can also call or e-mail us to order them.
