The MACOUNs are amazingly good and still on the trees.

Honeycrisp, Granny Smith & most of the apples above!

It is an extraordinary crop of large and plentiful apples and peaches. Pick Your Own apples will continue until late Oct or longer. We are open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. ’til 5 p.m., rain or shine. There are always people picking no matter what the weather is.

Also at the stand you will find apples, pumpkins, decorative gourds, local honey and maple syrup that is collected & produced right here in Harvard.

There are also lovely Dahlia flowers for sale as long as the weather allows. The number available will vary each day and may be sold out.

BLUEBERRIES, RASPBERRIES & PEACHES

pclawson — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 21:35:22 +0000

Our peaches are deliciously juicy and sweet. You will find them on the stand, ready to go home with you for eating and cooking.

A day or two on your kitchen counter will ripen them to perfection.

Blueberries are experiencing a slight lull. The rainy weather in the spring seems to have caused the mid-season berries to be light. There are, however, enough to fill your buckets, just a little more slowly. The next variety will be ripening soon.

Raspberry picking has slowed and is over for the season.

Have you ever wanted to try picking apples? We are looking for strong and energetic folks to help pick the crop. Interested? Ask at the stand or call the farm phone and leave a message. Also check out the Jobs at the Farm page

Blueberries and Raspberries looking great

pclawson — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 00:35:31 +0000

There are loads of both to pick. Blueberries are plump and blue and Raspberries are deep red and ready to drop into your container. Peaches may be ready by the end of the week, more about them later.

Come picking!

Saturday Blueberry and Raspberry picking

pclawson — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 13:45:59 +0000

It is early in the season and there are loads of berries coming along! Today’s picking is favoring the Raspberries with fewer Blueberries available.

To pick the ripe berries, you will find the ones that nearly fall off into your hand.

The all-over “blue” berries will have the best flavor.

You will find more to pick under branches and toward the middle of the bush.

WE WILL BE OPEN STARTING TUES. JULY 5

pclawson — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:39:59 +0000

The blueberries and raspberries look great! Raspberries are turning red and the blueberries are beginning to “blue up”. Our trusty staff is here, working on orchard tasks, ready to hang the open sign and open the gate.

Come Picking!!!
