Thankful for the rain and the beautiful rainbow, reminding us of God’s promise and faithfulness to us.

It's been a month since the April freeze that affected farms throughout the northeast.
Here's what we know regarding our orchard and the fruit.
🍑Peach Crop: A total loss. We will not have any peaches this year.
(This means our farm stand will not be open this summer.)
🍎Apple Crop: While much of the crop froze out, there were some late blooming varieties that show signs of encouragement with possible fruit development for the fall.
We will keep you updated as the season progresses.

These fragile apple tree blooms could not withstand last night’s brutal temperatures. Full effect of the fruit damage can’t be seen for another 36-48 hours.

🎶🎶See the farmer sow the seed
Up the field and down
See the furrows deep and straight
Up the field and down.
Farmer, farmer sow your seed
Up the field and down
God will make the golden seed
Grow where all was brown.🎶🎶

This song, from my youth, came right back to me as I watched Pete, our son Peter and 2 grandsons work the field.

Nothing like the beauty and smell of freshly turned over soil.

And just like that, we begin to see the first signs of new life in the fruit trees.
Ida Red Apple blossoms.💕
