Asparagus is yielding heavily now, and harvest should go for
the next 6 weeks or so. These are nice thick
spears and I snap them off where they break easily instead of cutting them at ground level, so almost all of
the harvested spear is tender and usable. Phone 620-597-2450 to order asparagus,
which we sell harvested for $2.79 per pound + tax.

| We grow 'Jersey Knight' asparagus, an all-male variety that produces nice thick
spears, and I snap them off where they break easily, so almost all of
the harvested spear is tender and usable. |
We still have many harvested 'GoldRush' apples, both #1's and
#2's, for sale now and for the next 6 weeks or so. Harvested
apples are kept in top condition in our cooler, which is now down to
about 500 pounds of apples (about 200 pounds of #1's and 300 pounds
of #2's). #2 apple prices are still $1.00 less for each 20 lbs. than last
fall. Scroll down 2 posts for prices.
We also still have 5-lb. bags of cracked 'Kanza' pecans for sale, for
$14.86 + tax per bag. We have about 16 bags (80 pounds) of pecans
left before we're sold out (until next Nov.)

| Strawberries are blooming now in our
3-year-old strawberry planting. Strawberries are sold pick-your-own only, by appointment only. |
Strawberry harvest will be very limited this year, as this is a
replanting year. We took out our 6-year-old strawberry planting
last summer and just replanted it this spring, so only the
3-year-old strawberry planting will produce fruit this year.
Strawberry harvest will run from about May 12 to June 5 this year.
Strawberries are sold pick-your-own only, by appointment only, for
$2.55 per quart + tax. Phone 620-597-2450 to set up a day and time
to pick strawberries.
From Dec. 1 to May 31 we're open by appointment, so phone a day
or so ahead (or at least a few hours ahead) and leave a message on
the answering machine saying when you're coming. Thanks.
