open at 12:30, VERY small amount - read please BLUEBERRIES!! Petaluma Bounty @ 12:00

Very disappointing day in the strawberry field. We have just 4 flats to offer and all will be sold in ¼ flat sizes. If you absolutely need a full flat or ½ flat the price will be the same as for ¼ flats or $18 and $36 each. Sorry, but with the amount of time spent searching for them, that’s simply the price I have to get to break even. With that being said….. there are literally no strawberries out there. We will not have strawberries this Fri or Sun, only blueberries. Again ------ we will be open on Fri and Sun but will only have blueberries for you. I can adjust our stand open times because blueberries are picked and packed in advance so I hope the following schedule will make it easy for all of you to score on blueberries!!

Let’s try this schedule……. Remember, this is for blueberries only ( no strawberries until further notice)

M,W,F,Sn 10:30 – 12 (for the early errand runners and lunch crowd) and again between 4:30 – 5:30 (for those of you stopping by after work)

The blueberry crop is looking great and we should have those for probably 2 more weeks.

Petaluma Bounty will be with us today – read on:

It’s a pretty exciting time of year because the farm is burgeoning with amazing food! This week I’ll have various heads of lettuce, purplette onions, carrots, very very tasty green beans, some cucumbers (souyo long, lemon, and Armenian...my favorite!), Red Ace Beets, and a myriad of summer squash (zephyr, raven, eight-ball, and tromboneccino). Stone fruit season is officially in full swing: dapple fire pluots, raven red plums, diamond princess peaches and nectarines!.

This week nearly all of the produce is from right here in Petaluma and all of the proceeds help Petaluma Bounty develop a sustainable food system right here in Petaluma with healthy food for everyone.
