          Fresh persimmons  have disappeared from our fruit stand but we have a supply of hoshigaki, dried persimmons. These are available in the fruit stand and by mail order.
         In the area of citrus we have mandarins, navel oranges, blood oranges, and grapefruit.  We also have Asian pears and kiwi. Barley Oats Farm is bringing us beautiful fresh winter vegetables. You can see these Fri., Sat., and Sunday at our stand  or go online to www.barleyoats.farm.
       We are busy during this slow time of year and also getting some rest.  In the orchard, trees are being pruned, mulch is being spread, and we are getting ready to prepare sites for planting new trees.  We are also making repairs on buildings and equipment, starting vegetable plants, and cleaning.  In the office we are putting together survey data, harvest reports and taxes.
        By the end of February we will see the orchard beginning to bloom as it prepares to grow fruit for the coming season. It is a beautiful site to see, so come for a walk and bring your camera.
Currently in the farm stand we are selling:
Mandarins and Kiwi from Mihara Farm in Newcastle
