Farm Open House and U-Pick Blackberries Tomorrow

Posted 8/7/2012 9:43pm by Leslie Cooperband or Wes Jarrell.

Tomorrow's farm open house (4 to 6PM) will feature a smorgasboard of cheese, gelato, honey and eggs for sale from Prairie Fruits Farm. Tomahnous Farm will be here with summer veggies and cut flowers. Stewart's Artisan Breads will have sourdough breads, bagels, biscotti and granola for sale. Laurence the knife dude is on vacation this week, so no knife sharpening. He will return next week.  Come see the latest and smallest kids born on the farm-Maxine had twins on Saturday night during our last farm dinner (that Maxine!!). 

Our blackberries are plentiful enough to offer U-pick this week--$4 per pint.  They are big, black, juicy and sweet, so come out between 5 and 7PM to pick some.  We are offering u-pick hours a bit later than the open house to give you fruit pickers some respite from the height of the afternoon heat.  You can still come out to shop for cheese, gelato, and all the other goodies we'll have to offer you.  Your kids can eat gelato while you pick too. This might be the only u-pick we offer this season, so if you want to make a blackberry crumble, now's your chance.
