Next tick related question. Looking for info. from someone who may have had the same experience. Dog bit by several ticks last Sat. and developed symptoms of lethargy, apathy, lack of appetite and mild confusion yesterday. His is blood work was fine but had elevated heart rate. Started on Doxy antibiotic today just in case of tick disease. Has anyone had this happen with their dog after tick bites and what did it turn out to be? I know Lyme and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, etc. are possibilities but also worried about tick paralysis.... He was here for a visit and back home in FL now. Trying to get info on what is prevalent here.

We would like to thank all of our customers for a great season! We appreciate your loyalty and support. We had hoped to pick one more time but it looks doubtful. In the event that they do kick in again we will contact some of the customers on the repeat order list to see if they are still interested. We didn't make it far down the repeat list but we are extremely happy to have had a full length season this year so we could complete the original list. Don't forget tomatoes will be ready Mid-Late June. Hope to see you then :)

We are finishing up contacting customers from the ORIGINAL list and believe we have either filled the order or contacted without response everyone with an order. Again this is the original list not the repeat orders. However, if you commented on a post it is possible I never saw it. So, if you believe you were supposed to be on the list and never got contacted please private message and we will get you scheduled. We will now start contacting customers that are on the list for repeat orders. Season will be winding down soon. Our goal is always to get everyone's order filled the first time. We will do our best with the repeat order list.

Good news! Despite that brutal storm the strawberries still look great today. I know we have a lot of weather to get through before we pick again but right now everything looks really good. The plan is to pick on Tuesday morning. I will update on Monday.

Update: As far as we can tell it seems to be ok under there. Greenhouses still standing and strawberries could be worse. It was a heck of a storm for sure.

I will be scheduling order pick ups with people that remain on the strawberry list for Friday when we finish working and I can take a look at the latest weather forecast. If we start at 6AM we may get rained out but if we wait until the threat of rain passes it may be too late in the day....The ladies will be calling at 5:30AM to finalize the picking plan so I do not know for sure what time to schedule pick ups. I will ask that if I do contact you with a pick up time that in the event of rain please check for an update on this page. I will not have to time contact everyone directly if there is a rain out or a pick up time adjustment. There is a chance we may avoid rain all together but we all know the forecast changes by the minute. Weather permitting we will be scheduling orders on Friday night for Saturday. We are on the final two pages of the list but please keep in mind many of those orders were made on the original post in April....so most people have been waiting the same amount of time. I am sorry that I don't have time to respond to every message that I receive as we work until dark. I hope this update will answer most of the questions. Thank you for all the nice comments and messages and as always we appreciate your patience and positivity!!

We will be scheduling orders for the end of the week. Looks like the weather is going to be tricky...especially for Friday. We will wait to see if the forecast changes before we start to set up pick up times,

Unfortunately, when we switched Fields today we discovered that tomorrow's field is not ripe enough. This is why I never schedule until the night before lol. I private messaged everyone scheduled but just wanted to give a heads up that we will not be picking tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.
