Where to Find Our Produce

Our Selections
Hull Blackberry is a semi-tart thorn-less berry. Vines are trellised to about 6-feet high. Berries occur from near ground level to the top of the vine.
Season is largely from August 1 to September 15.
Prices: Farmers Market $4 per pint
Pick-your-own $3 per pint
Delivered $5 per pint
--------------o-----------------
Tree fruit are in a wide variety of cultivars so seasons are spread over a maximum range—12 types of peaches, 18 types of pears (both European and Asian), and 120 types of apples. These are young trees not in full-productivity yet so availability is limited.
Prices: Vary with variety.
----------------o-----------------
Limited quantities of other produce may be available on occasion: raspberry, blueberry, Kiowa blackberry, chestnut, black walnut
and hazelnut.
