A lot of different varieties of plums are ready at the orchard now. In the photo above, going clockwise from the red plum in the top right corner you can see Beauty, Red Beaut, Santa Rosa, Frontier, Black Amber and Satsuma and Black Beaut plums. Other varieties that are ripening and will be available soon are Mariposa, Duarte, Laroda and Friar plums. We have a good supply of peaches too, so we're selling flats of peaches and peach seconds. If you'd like flats of peaches for canning or jam, please call ahead if you can and we can save some for you.
Vegetable are growing well in the gardens now, too, although tomatoes are very behind. We should have our first tomatoes for sale by this weekend, although the supply will still be limited. Normally we have enough tomatoes to sell by the beginning of July.
