Final day for fresh figs. Bags of frozen will remain available until sold out. If you are interested in getting any of them message me, the scheduler has been turned off, I have flexible availability today until 6pm.

No more little cooler - we’ve upgraded to a mini fridge for the bottled water and treats. Currently it is on the back porch due to available electricity but I’ll be looking at ways to get it under the shelter eventually.

Please note, this will be a seasonal offering with the fridge being brought in before it gets too cold to prevent damage. Thank you again to all our amazing guests 💜

Important fig season announcement!

Fig season will end by Sunday, August 30th at the latest. I was expecting a smaller season this year because of the late frost in spring, which damaged the trees’ new growth. You can see some of that smaller growth here, and unfortunately, that’s where the figs develop.

What I didn’t expect was for the season to end 2–4 weeks earlier than usual. But that’s the way growing things goes sometimes. You make your plans, and Mother Nature goes “hold my beer”.

We have pickups scheduled for this weekend, and there may be a smaller amount of extra figs available for walk-ups. They’ll be limited and will likely go quickly.

I’ll do my best to keep several bags available throughout the coming week. If it looks like the season isn’t going to make it all the way to Sunday, I’ll let everyone know.
Thank you for your understanding and for making another fig season so much fun!

And if you’re still looking for figs for jam, I have plenty of frozen bags available while supplies last. They’ll be around a little longer than their fresh friends.

Harvested the remaining apples after work today! The last storm ripped about half of them from the trees, and even though this is their first year producing, I wanted to preserve as many as possible.

The two greener-looking ones are Pink Ladies. There were actually three, but the largest one was damaged, so I finished it before I even made it off the ladder. Priorities. 😂

Between the long hours at my new job and the challenges of this shoulder injury (no more sling, BTW!), one small joy and unexpected help this year has been this fridge.

I knew after last season that I’d need a designated produce fridge, and several months ago my GF found one that a home seller was getting rid of. A little electrical tweaking later, and it’s perfect! Apples, figs, pawpaws, and pears now have plenty of space, and I don’t have to play refrigerator Tetris with everything that needs to stay cold. And, if you’ve ever wondered why some of our figs are a little chilly, now you know. I keep them in here to help maintain their freshness between harvest and sale.

It’s not the most exciting piece of farm equipment, but this fridge has quietly made this season a whole lot easier.

I’m drooling all over again looking at what I prepared for my GF and I yesterday.

Using our fresh figs and pears for a little edible reward: figs stuffed with prosciutto and goat cheese, encircling a warm sourdough boule with baked Brie and sliced pears. More sliced pears on the side for good measure.

Enjoying the literal fruits of my labor.

That’s a wrap for week two! I’m taking a well-deserved day off from being out there before my work week and week three pickups both start Tuesday. See you then!

If you’re looking for a way to preserve a little bit of fig season, we don’t let the leftovers go to waste. They’re rinsed, destemmed, and individually frozen before being bagged up for anyone looking to make jam or other treats.

I’ve done the work for you, and the bags are just $15 each. Each one is roughly 4–5 pounds of figs.

I love using these for my own jam, especially because I don’t feel rushed to make it while the figs are fresh. They can hang out in the freezer until I’m ready, right alongside the frozen blueberries and elderberries already waiting in there.

Thanks to all our guests for making us a Sniffspot ‘Top Spot’ in the Richmond area. Iris agrees - it’s all smiles and tail wags here. We love hearing your stories - like the dog brothers who got to meet and play for the first time since they were puppies, those who come to spend time with their human and fur friends, and more. I’m excited for opening the expanded yard this next year and continue growing the space as your dog’s happy place 🐾

Fig Season: Week Two!
Our first week felt like everything ran pretty smoothly! Bookings worked great from our perspective, and I hope those of you who used the new system agree. We also had some walk-ups who were able to scoop up extras, and we're slowly building up our frozen stock for all of you jammers (3 bags currently).

I do have one small adjustment for this week:
There will be no Friday pickup window this week. We have out-of-town family coming in, and we're going to take the opportunity to enjoy some time with them. Otherwise, it's business as usual, and I look forward to seeing more friendly faces this week!

Rough Greensnake

These little ones feel almost magical in their beauty and elusiveness. I’m lucky enough to spot one every two or three years.

Typically around two feet long and wonderfully slender, they blend almost perfectly into shrubs and tree canopies. These nonvenomous snakes mostly hunt insects and are far more likely to flee than bite when startled.

You’re more likely to find them among the tree and vegetation along coastal areas, wetlands, and other areas near water. Seeing one here always feels special.
