Blueberry and PYO Raspberry season

8/10/2011

0 Comments

 
Our Blueberry season has ended for this year.  This was the most frustrating blueberry season we have had.  As I shared earlier the birds ate all of our Duke blueberries.  Since then they have eaten a large amount of what has been a very small Chandler crop.  Because of this and the bad winter our blueberry season has ended  and we had people who ordered blueberries we were not able to provide :(.  We have plans to plant another blueberry field with two varieties that are more winter hardy than Chandler and harvest in a much shorter season.  Hopefully this will reduce the severe bird depredation.  The only problem is that it will be 2-3 years before we get a good crop. 
PYO raspberries will start somewhere around August 20-24.  We will have updates on the Berry Line (541-938-5053) as the times gets nearer.  Since Edie goes back to teaching soon the raspberry patch will be open for picking on my days off only again when we know a starting date I will put a schedule here and on the Berry Line.
We are really excited about the construction of our new Berry Barn.  It should be ready for next season.
