LAST CHANCE FOR FUYU

      With the colder weather, Fuyu persimmons are reacting.  Those we harvested after the rains and after it got cold are hopefully devoured by now. 

       We did harvest Fuyu for storage.  Most are still firm but not crunchy.  Come in soon if you want to take advantage of these final Fuyu for the season..  I predict we will continue to sell Fuyu for a couple weeks but know that they are getting more tender and of course sweeter.
       We still have other persimmons.  Maru  (brown fleshed), Vodka (Hyakume persimmons treated with vodka to sweeten them), and a few Hachiya.
          It is time now for mandarins.  These are sweet and easy to peel.  The ones from Pleasant Hill Farm are seedless.  We hope to harvest Otow Orchard mandarins in a couple weeks.

HOSHIGAKI UPDATE 12/15/2018

HOSHIGAKI UPDATE 12/15/2018  We are working on the Hoshigaki every day. It seems to be slow even though there is not much left.  We can't hurry it up any more. We are currently shipping out Mail order requests that were received before November 19, 2018.  If we run out we will let you know. Unfortunately we don't know how much more we will have until the process is finished on each individual piece of hoshigaki.  They are each so different.

Dec 6, 2018 MAIL ORDER UPDATE FROM TOSH

At this time we know we will run out of DK/ DG eventually.  If you have an order on file and wish to expedite your order, you may change your order to DKA or DKMN.  Otherwise, you will remain on the waiting  list until DK/DG is all sold out.  I don't think most folks out there realize that as farmers, this was a disastrous year. Without enough fruit, we had to purchase the hachiya to dry which added an additional $5-6 a pound for us to produce.  Even then, the amount we were able to produce was in short supply.  The drying conditions were different this year and we always have a shortage of labor and the list goes on and on.  So please excuse me if I seem like a grumpy old farmer.
