Well the sumer seems to be flying by us very quickly!
Our own blueberries are finally ready and we have been picking them for that last week or so. We have picked the first of five varieties so we still have loads to come. The plants are covered with little white and light blue berries just waiting to ripen. We are very proud of our little blueberry crop and are happy to share them with our customers. The fresh sweet corn is also ready to enjoy, another sign that summer is moving on. We have both peaches & cream and super-sweet for sale in the store, picked fresh everyday.
We also have peaches from Niagara available in the store. We have dealt with the same peach growers for the last twenty years and their peaches are excellent! They are always juicy and sweet and hard to stop yourself from eating the basket
in one sitting!
We have also harvested our home grown garlic. We have been spot picking the garlic for the last few weeks but the garlic was definatly ready to go this week sowe pulled all of it and put it into the greenhouse to dry down so it will keep into the winter.
Yes I said winter.
Dave has also spent a few evenings on the combine brining in the rye. He finally finished last night, now we will have to have it cleaned and send it out to be milled into flour for Dave’s bread. It is pretty awesome to see something like rye be planted, watch it grow, harvest it and be able to turn it into flour which is then made into bread!
That’s what it is all about!
