It’s blackberry season! Opportunities to pick are available but please message me so we can insure plenty of berries. Our thornless berry varieties have benefited from the recent rains and showing great size. A gallon of berries are $10.

It’s been a busy spring with a couple of home projects but we’re now able to focus on the farm life! We have had two honey harvests where we were able to share that experience with family. Processing 80 pounds of honey benefits from a lot of hands!

The blackberry season is just getting started so look for more updates soon on picking opportunities. Also we will be opening our farm stand where we will have fresh produce along with our maple syrup, and you guessed it, honey available !!!

It’s been a good weekend for Maple Creek farm! We’re finishing our first run of maple syrup and we’re thrilled with the product. We’ve still got about three gallons to bottle with 6.5 gallons already in jars. Plus we’ve already filled the pan with sap and the process starts all over again.

Maple syrup season is going strong! We’ve been working hard gathering sap and the new tubing is completed. We’re trying to keep up with the evaporation process!

Maple syrup season is underway and earlier than ever! As farmers we have to watch the weather and make decisions about when we need to act. In this case the trees tell us that we need to get busy! We’ve got 90% of our taps in the trees and we will add the tubing in the next few days (weather permitting)
