July – Hot stuff

Gravenstein Apples

Summer is definitely here and there are some fulfilling jobs to tackle on the farm at this time.The heat makes it a bit harder but the cat knows how to stay cool in the shade The fruit trees are producing in abundance so to prevent branches breaking under the weight and to optimize the harvest when it happens I have been ruthlessly thinning fruit. First from the peaches and nectarines, apples and apple pears are next on the list, but the garlic also needs harvesting, eek only so much time available, but my little helper, 4 yr old Iris, keeps me at it, where does their energy come from? [The garlic looks fantastic]

Then the mulberries are also ripening, blackberries are coming as the raspberries start to come to an end, I freeze berries We value knowing the food we consume, we grew and is as organic as is humanly possible. We try and have extras for our customers and now we have a walk in cooler, thanks to son Stuart, the supply of great apples [Spartans] should last through the winter. Anyone interested in purchasing some of our produce, please reach out so we can try and pick for you too!

We have a whole lamb available if anyone is planning a big BBQ, 45lb pound for $600

Mimi beats the heat

Also lots of ground beef and lamb for burgers,etc etc

This July has no Long weekend closures, but watch out for August, With 5 Saturdays in the month, we will be closed on August 2nd and Aug 30, and will be hanging out, enjoying summer with family.
