Berry Update #10

Hot, Hot, Hot early in the week! Berries took a bit of a hit with temps that reached 105 degrees at the farm. You'll see a few sun burned spots on some of the berries. Don't be alarmed - they may have blemishes but the flavor is still there.

We cut back on farmers markets this weekend but hope to be back to a more regular schedule next week.

Saturday - only in Palo Alto and Santa Rosa

Sunday - Sebastopol and the Marin/San Rafael

The blackberries maintained their great flavor. We'll have Triple Crown and Chester varieties at the markets this weekend!

Finally - the raspberries are here! The cooler weather has really helped them come along this week. The flavor is very intense!

Call ahead if you want to stop by the farm stand. As we wind down the season, our hours are limited.

Berry Update #5

This week has been rather overcast and cold at the farm. Blackberries are slow to ripen but this may help the raspberries come in sooner.

Blueberries - ~1-2 weeks to go in the season

Blackberries - Triple Crown in season now. Beautiful berries! Chester variety is starting to ripen too. Marion Blackberries - had a few yesterday in Palo Alto. Cherokee - second harvest is light so we'll have limited quantities at the markets next week.

Red Raspberries - Just starting to come back into season. We have a few red raspberries so stop by the farmers markets early if you're interested in these.

Golden and Orange raspberries - give these a few more weeks.

Farm stand open today between 11-3pm. We have a new batch of blueberry ice cream for you to enjoy.

Berries are back in season!

Today we'll be at the Sebastopol Farmers Market with blueberries, red & golden raspberries. Stop by and say hello.
