Good morning all!

Well, the 2022 blackberry season is now in the history books. We will be cutting the canes back that produced this year to make room for next year’s growth. Then we will enjoy one heck of a bonfire as a last hurrah! It’s been a great year and we do appreciate everyone that supports us by purchasing our products.
Figs are going gangbusters! So come and get yours and enjoy all kinds of wonderful sweet and savory dishes with this delicious fruit!
Gene and I will be taking the afternoon off to go and enjoy the new Florida Weisse Rubus blackberry beer and some lunch at Coppertail Breweries in Tampa. We’ll be there about 2 pm so if you are in the neighborhood stop by and taste this great brew with us!
Thank you again for supporting local farms and businesses!
