*Blackberry U-Pick will be starting very soon, so when you head out to get your blueberries don’t miss out on some yummy blackberries! We will have Mrs. Hashem’s home-made blackberry cobbler recipe on next week’s newsletter so make sure to check it out.
*Do you love canning or want to start canning? Come out to the farm and pick up some boxes of our canning tomatoes, 10lb box $10 or 20lb box $20. Or just pick them up by the pound for $1.50/lb.
