West Union Gardens is having a late start on the berry season (raspberries, marionberries, loganberries, etc.) due to the cold spring. The positive side being that there are lots of berries out there slowly getting sweeter.

Coussens Farms berries are being watered and they are starting to turn blue. If the clouds stay away the sun should sweet"n them up in ten days or so. They are ready to go. The grass between the rows is mowed and the berries are just plumping up. Stay tuned for the opening date.

Jossy Farms had some nice days and some rainy days this past week. They took care of spraying the peaches, apples and pears to prevent disease and protect the blossoms. They also mowed all the tree rows and open areas on all of the properties we farm. On the rainy days they stayed in the shop worked on converting a 95 ford half ton pick up into a field fork lift so lots of welding and grinding. Want more info just ask!
