First, we'd like to apologize to our loyal customers for not opening for blackberries. We had tons of berries, but they never ripened. They are still red on the vines. From our understanding, after consulting with several professionals, we can blame this on the weather. We know that other berry growers have experienced the same result this year.
Second, we'd like to share what happened Wednesday evening. A white Ford truck decided to take a drive through our berry patch. The truck suffered major damages, so his joyride bit him in the butt. If anyone knows anything about this truck, please call the Adams County Sheriff's Department. We would like to thank the Sheriff's office and the Peebles Police Department for their response last night.
By our estimation, we are looking at about $15,000 in damages. We do carry insurance, but they are indicating that this kind of damage is most likely not covered. Go figure. Our hearts are aching right now. It's difficult and depressing when you put so much of yourself into a business, only to have things like this happen.
