The native dwarf blueberries are growing well! There are a bunch of oak seedlings growing in the same spot, which explains why it took so long to notice the tiny blueberry bushes.

Homegrown strawberries 🍓

These strawberries are sweet when they're still pink and have a lot of great flavor. I'd love to pick them when they're red, but unfortunately the slugs, ants, and whatever else eats them move really fast so it's either pick early or get nothing. That's the downside of avoiding sprays and pesticides . . . but the berries are REALLY good, so it's definitely worth it. 🍓

One of our customers last year told us that he could taste blackberry in our spring honey, and he wondered if we had infused our honey with it. Nope, we don't infuse our honey - the flavor always comes from what our bees choose to harvest. Right now, it's blackberry flowers. Mmm! 🍯

Warm, cozy Ancona duck eggs in the incubator. Anconas are good layers, and one of our females laid 19 days in a row while I was collecting for the incubator. Looking forward to building up our flock after predator losses last year.
