The mulberries are starting to mature. We are picking a few and they are available occasionally in the farm stand. Call to make sure.
Spring Rose is our first peach of the year. As a white peach, it is low acid. As a white peach it can be eaten firm or a little soft. As a white peach it is delicate. As a early white peach it is just an early peach. Later peaches will get more of everything we desire in a peach. Call if you want us to reserve any for you.
All around the neighborhood we see little orange loquat ripening on landscape trees. Our loquat, on the other hand, are taking their time. They are just hinting at some color.
In the citrus department we have large lemons, yellow grapefruit and Valencia oranges.
Hoshigaki is available at the farm stand and through mail order while the weather is cool. For mail order please go to the order form
We have honey from Nastase Honey farm in Lincoln, Otow Calendula salve and lip balm, and jams from The Good Stuff.
I went out (May 19) to take pictures of ripening fruit but got distracted by a dramatic gallery of cloud pictures. Happily, we did not get hail this time around.
These green plums and peaches will be mature and ready to eat in 6 weeks.
