Summer 2017

This year has been an interesting one.  With the frigid winter weather and the cool wet spring it seems more like Minnesota than Milton Freewater.  Our raspberries will be later this year, staring late June to the first of July.  We will be starting u-pick peaches and pluots this year but with the cold winter the crop is pretty light.  The white tailed deer have wreaked havoc with our young cherry and plum trees, forcing us to build a deer fence around the orchard. The fence is taking a lot more time and money than I could imagine.  The Hardy Kiwi's are growing well and starting fill in some of the spaces on the trellis.  We are in the process of removing the old barn so we can put up a large greenhouse.  Stop by, pick some fruit and see the changes.
