Watch Us Grow

 
  The Barn

We broke ground in March of 2002 on the Barn. We were just gonna' be a fruit stand - I swear! Keep it real simple - be open 3 months outta' the year. Sell a few pies. Maybe some soup. Well -- THAT didn't work out very well now, did it?!

I took progressive pictures of "The Barn" (aka "fruit stand") construction from the day we broke ground. It's kind of interestin'. Check it out!

The Blueberries

Dad planted the blueberries in the spring of 2000. They've shown phenomenal growth and done much better than all those lousy skeptics thought! Kidding. Actually - they've done MUCH better than even WE anticipated.

 

 

 

 

Raspberries

The following spring, 2001, Dad planted some Dinkum Raspberries. These have also done exceptionally well. U-pick from spring through late fall.

Strawberries

Spring 2009 we decided to plant some beautiful, sweet strawberries. We had a small crop in summer 2009, as is typical with strawberries the first year. The second year, that we're just coming into, we should have a pretty abundant crop. We're still kind of wingin' it, so we can't answer a lot of specific questions about them yet. We're going to see how it goes and learn as we go. There are 2 varieties: Tristar & Benton.  Pickable late spring through fall.
