What a glorious May Day this has been! Here’s an update from our farm:

We seem to have survived the extra hot days in April with the subsequent drop into the 20s right afterwards. We still have a few weeks of watching and waiting, but we’re optimistic about the future weather.

Our pretty pink peach blossoms are beginning to wane as our apple blossoms start to open. This weekend would be a good time to come by to enjoy the splendor of the orchard in bloom. Beehives from Adam Fuller and A&Z Apiary have been placed strategically to allow for good pollination of our fruits. The strawberries in our recently planted field are growing and should produce a wonderful crop of berries in June. Cherry blossoms are showing much promise. Our raspberries have been pruned and we’re setting up a higher support for them as the canes will be much taller this year than last. The blueberries in the larger field have all been pruned and, by this time tomorrow, we’ll have the smaller field finished up. All of the winter pruning is done just by family, so we’re very thankful for our seasonal workers who arrived a month ago to help finish it up. And lastly, our tomatoes have been planted and we’re looking forward to watching them grow.

So much work done behind the scenes, so to speak, that many of you may not realize. It’s hard work, but oh so satisfying. We can’t wait to begin harvest season 2026! — at Buell's Orchard.

Wow, what a phenomenal last day of the season! Thank you to all that came out today for our last day. We so appreciate your love and support of our farm and family.

We're closed down now, but looking forward to reopening in June for strawberry season and the start of Harvest 2026! Take care and know that spring will eventually arrive!

School vacation for Emmy this week! Decided that with her help we could make a double batch of jam from my strawberries that I froze last summer. So yummy!🍓🍓🍓

Emmy will be here in the farm store today to help you with your purchases. We’ve added all of our apples to the BOGO clearance sale! Closing for the season next Friday, February 27th. Come by soon!

Our weatherman is predicting the coldest temperatures yet this year for the weekend! Better stock up on cider and mulling spices to help keep you warm! We have some delicious soup mixes too!🥶❄️🪏

And for your superbowl party, our selection of salsas can’t be beat—everything from mild to super hot!

I’m here until 4:00 today.

This was just the right kind of day for making jam with my frozen raspberries! Alas though, when I went to the cupboard and found no packages of pectin, I searched and found a recipe for “no pectin” jam. The results:

1. It worked!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
2. Awesome flavor! Maybe even better than when I used pectin, but it could just be that I’ve been out of raspberry jam for quite some time and have forgotten the flavor zing that you get with local berries…😉
3. It took a little longer to make, but I’m still finished by 10:00 am.👍🏻
4. Since it requires boiling down to thicken the jam, I ended up with about half the amount, so I’ll probably stick with my tried and true method, but I’m happy to once again have raspberry jam to enjoy!😋

Our countdown to the end has begun, so we’ve set up our “Annual End of Season Clearance”! So many great products!

Open until 4:00 today. Stock up before Storm Benjamin hits this weekend!❄️❄️❄️

Slower season for me means I have more time to spend in my kitchen! Here’s a half bushel of Ida Reds I’m cooking down for applesauce. I cook them with the skins on and run them through my food mill. It makes a beautiful pink sauce. Then I freeze the sauce in quart containers or ziplock bags and we’ll have it to enjoy for many months ahead!🍎

Next week I’ll put up jam from the strawberries and raspberries I froze last summer…🍓
