Hey Cran-Fans,
It’s cranberry time! There are coolers out at 100 Sis Porter Road in Sedgwick and 269 Falls Bridge Road in Blue Hill. As some of you know, this year is a little bit different for Red Bog. Kipp is busy with other things this fall (last-minute opportunity to teach on Isle au Haut!), so this time it’s mostly just me (Dale) which means we’re making some adjustments.
We usually do a final hand-sort after the berries run through the sorting machine to make sure the berries are all perfect. We’re limiting that fine sorting at the end, so you may find berries that have a dent or a bruise or are at the fully ripe stage where they taste great, but are no longer firm enough to store for months in your fridge. Because you may need to do a little sorting at home, depending on your storage needs, we’ve lowered the price from $8/1lb bag or $35/5lb bag to $6/1lb bag or $25/5lb bag. I hope that works for everyone and I appreciate everyone’s understanding as we work things out.
I also appreciate everyone’s patience with my lack of prompt communication this year. I’m not as good at the office side of things, and I just haven’t figured out how to do everything that needs to be done in the time I’ve got. So thank you for your patience, and I will try to respond to individual messages very soon.
Because I’m trying to keep things as simple as possible, we’ll only be selling out of the coolers again this year, and I won’t be able to do a lot of special orders. If you need larger amounts than we usually stock in the coolers, let me know and we’ll make arrangements. Otherwise, I’ll try to keep the coolers filled and I hope you’ll stop by!
