Still Some Persimmons in the Cooler

Harvest is over.
Once they are gone from the cooler,
that will be all until next fall.
These are a non-astringent variety that
you can eat them like an apple or wait until they are
translucent red orange and eat them with a spoon!
Check out the Persimmon Pudding recipe

Still Bullis Muscadines

There are lots out there - but some are overripe and some are not ready yet.
For the best results, you will need to do quality control as you pick.
Do the touch test to make sure they are soft (ripe) before you pick them
and to make sure they are not overripe.
Touch - Decide - then if picking - Twist and pull

Still Blackberries

If you are willing to take the time, you can still find some blackberries in the primocane.
With primocane fruiting, there will be unripe berries amongst the ripe ones.
Take your time to get the ripe ones.
Fruiting should continue until first hard frost.

Hours of Operation

Monday - Friday: 9 to 5:30
Saturday: 9 to 6
Sunday: Noon to 6
This time of year we will be working in the fields to do lay-by, but we may not always be around. We are mostly on the Honor System over the winter. But you can always call if you need help.

Seedless Grapes & Blueberries

are done for the season.

Open Rain or Shine

And remember that just because it is raining at your house does not mean it is raining at the farm.

Bring Your Own Buckets

We encourage you to bring your own containers for picking.
Check out our picking tips.

COVID-19

We continue to ask anyone coming to the farm to social distance,
and to honor all current COVID protocols.

Part-Time Jobs

We are working on lay-by.
Field Work
We always welcome volunteers if you want to come learn how to prune.
We may also have some shoulder season (paid) work as we clean up in the fields and begin winter prep.

Do you have a passion for Birds or Bees?
We are still looking for a Bird Manager and a Bee Manager. See the postings for more details.

CAUTION - Please wear shoes with good tread.
Please no sandles or flip flops. The terrain is uneven, and in places, sometimes steep. Please wear shoes with good tread for walking around the farm. See our Picking Tips

Speed limit is 6 miles per hour....
For your own safety as well as others -
Please drive slowly and carefully.

BYOB – Bring-your-own-bucket
We love it when you bring your own buckets. If you have extra plastic buckets or quart cups, we would welcome these donations to the cause.  We can wash and sanitize them and they will be "good to go" for another round.

Parking Tips 
We ask our workers to park at the top of the driveway in order to save parking down near the old farm house for you!  That means that seeing cars at the top does not mean you have to walk in.  If we are really crowded we will have someone at the top to direct parking.  With that said, please note that trailers or RV types of vehicles must park at the top of the driveway in the first parking area.  They should not be taken down to the house because there is not enough room to turn them around.

Preferred method of payment
We love Cash!  We also accept checks, and Visa or Mastercard debit/credit cards.  We are hoping that you will all continue to use cash or checks as much as possible. 

We are now mobile-friendly!
In 2016 we posted our new mobile friendly website. Please let us know if you find any bumps! We would love your input.

Dog Policy
Please leave your pets at home.
We love dogs but it is best not to bring dogs to the farm. We cannot allow dogs in the fields and the parking area is too hot to leave pets in the car. If you cannot avoid having your dog with you, please plan for a member of your group to stay with the dog; stay out of the fields (no one wants berries that were...ah..sprayed); carry doggie bags for the unmentionable; and keep the dog on a 6 foot (or shorter) leash.

EGGS
Please call first if you are making a special trip-

More to Look Forward to - Eventually
We have added Goji, mulberries and even planted more Persimmons. They have not come on-line yet.
We have also planted more fig trees since we seem to consistently have more demand than supply.
And, as always, we will be tinkering with ways we can lower our impact on the environment,
up our harvest productivity, maintain profitability so we can stay in business
and better serve our community.
Ask Walker for details and/or Stay tuned for updates!
