🫐 The nets are going up on the blueberries, and that means blueberry season is getting closer!

Here’s a fun fact you might not know:

Ever wonder why blueberry nets are that bright aqua-marine color?
They're actually based on commercial fishing nets! The story goes that a fish net salesman on the West Coast saw an opportunity and introduced fishermen’s netting systems to farmers. By using the same quick-deploy methods that fishermen used, growers found an efficient way to protect their crops from hungry birds.
Today, these nets have become the industry standard—and they're a sure sign that delicious local blueberries are on the way! 🫐☀️
(We should be picking in early July)

Who’s ready for fresh-picked blueberries? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Remember the new pear orchard we planted in April? 🍐
The trees are growing, the trellis is up, everything is tied, and even the grass is coming along nicely. There’s still a long way to go, but it’s looking top-notch so far. Excited to watch it continue to grow!

Nothing more satisfying than turning under a tall stand of winter rye. 🚜

We seeded this cover crop back in October to protect our soil through the winter and build organic matter. Now all that green goodness is being worked back into the ground, where it will feed the soil and slowly release nutrients for seasons to come.

Blackberries in full bloom! What a crop! Every white flower will turn in a blackberry.

Donuts are running today! Due to overwhelming demand, we’re making both cider donuts and blueberry donuts 🍩🍎🫐

🔥 Grilling this weekend? 🔥 We sell apple wood for grilling and smoking in 3 sizes:

• Small Chips – Perfect for adding smoky flavor without extra heat. Great for grills and smokers of all kinds.

No smoker box? No problem. Wrap a handful in foil, poke a few holes with a fork, and toss it on the grill for an easy flavor boost. Works great on charcoal or propane grills. A little goes a long way!

• Large Chips – Ideal for charcoal grills. Toss them around the outer edge of your fire when the meat goes on to add delicious smoke flavor and a little extra searing heat.

• Apple Firewood – Best for offset smokers or campfires. Available by the bundle or by the bin. Please call ahead for bin orders.

Nothing beats the flavor of real apple wood smoke! 🔥🍖
