Dear All,

A week of rain is Mother Nature’s polite memo to farmers that we work for her. Comparing what we see in our crop plan spreadsheets to what we see in the fields, we are reminded that we are still pretty green at this. Resignation is not the right word, but learning to be calm and have faith amidst the oscillations of the seasons is part of what we are faced with this year. It may not feel like June; it may not look like June; but June will come – even if it comes in July.

Pick Your Own Strawberries Opens June 13th – The patch opens this Saturday and will remain open daily from 10am-5pm throughout the strawberry season. Rain, shine, wind… (and did I mention rain…) the strawberries are certified organic, and the many different varieties mean lots of interesting and subtle flavor differences. Taste a few of each to be sure!
