95th St. Open, Many Red Raspberries Ripe

   Floodwaters receded this morning from 95th St., the road to our farm, and people drove on it by mid-morning.  So customers can now follow the usual directions to our farm, shown in the sidebar at left.
Many red raspberries are ripe now & for the next 3-4 weeks.  More ripen each day, so raspberries need to be picked every day.
   Many red raspberries are ripening now and for the next 3 to 4 weeks.  A few purple raspberries have started ripening now, and there should be many to pick in about a week.  Black raspberries should start ripening late this week.  Expected ripe dates for all types of raspberries, and all our fruit crops, are shown in the sidebar at left.
   All raspberries are sold pick-your-own only, for $2.32 per pint + sales tax.  We're now open our summer hours, as shown in the sidebar at left.  If you tell others about us, please tell them the open hours.  Thanks.
This sign on our sales building shows our summer hours, from June 1 to Aug. 31.  This is our 19th year of having these same summer hours.
   We do not take appointments in summer; you can just come during the open hours.  Some Fridays & Saturdays we have many customers, so those able to come early in the week (Mon., Tues. or Wed.) may find more ripe berries to pick, especially early in the ripening season of each berry crop.
Patty Hale (left) & Lenora Olson (right) picked red raspberries this morning.  We usually have fewer customers coming to pick berries early in the week, so those are good days to come for those who are able to do so.  We're open every evening 7 to 9 p.m. in summer. 
   I finished harvesting asparagus a few days ago, but we still have harvested asparagus for sale for the next few days, until it sells out (about June 8).
