STRAWBERRY SEASON 2011 - OPENING DAY JUNE 10; CLOSING DAY JULY 3.
Our season is sadly over and hopefully you were able to get our tastee berries. Overall, we were very pleased with our crop. But, we feel that the weather could have cooperated a little bit for us. May's weather - cool and wet made for a later than normal start to the season and one of our fields yielded smaller berries as a result of the cool/wet weather. The taste, though, outstanding!! We tried some new varieties and felt that those berries fared well with the weather.
Sadly, Day 11 to Day 17 of our season was very very wet. Our fields saw 3.5 inches of rain in just 4 days. Not good for the shallow rooted berry plants. With those wet conditions, nothing stops the berry from going bad. But, we rallied with Day 18 to Day 24 with sunny skies and warm temperatures. A little too late to entirely change the season, yet we were thankful for the better weather.
Thank you ALL for making our season a success. We truly value each and every one of our customers.
We look forward to another tastee berry year - JUNE 2012!!
Enjoy the rest of your summer and see you in 11 months!
