The peaches this year have been great: thanks to all of you who help us make this annual event such a success! We appreciate your enthusiasm and support, and your telling others.
However, we do have a small problem. The hurricane knocked out power at the farm and it has still not been restored. This means that we cannot store the remaining peaches in our coolers with any great success, since we can run them on generator power only intermittently. We need to move the last few boxes while they are still in prime condition.
Even worse, we do not have an answering machine available to take reservations, nor can we receive emails: this post is being composed at the Harrison Village Library. So we have no choice but to offer the remaining four boxes of peaches on a first-come, first-served basis. I’m sorry that this may mean some make a fruitless (pun intended) trip but there are no alternatives.
Thanks for your support and, now, for your understanding of these awkward circumstances.
Secondly, the fall raspberries have begun to ripen. However, it appears the dry summer has reduced the vigor of the canes and hence the likely yield. If you are at the farm for other purposes (the great corn, the wonderful tomatoes, the variety of squashes, potatoes not commonly available, etc.) it is surely worth a walk to the berry patch for a look-see. Perhaps after the rain does its magic it will be worth a whole trip for berries.
