OPEN 10:30 - 12 and 4:30 - 5:30 with BLUEBERRIES only, read for schedule, Honey arrived!

No strawberries today or in the near future. I’ll update you more on that after I scan the field in the next few days.

The honey was delivered on Wed afternoon. We are fully stocked with ½ and 1 lb jars. Honey will be available for about 2 – 3 more weeks. Let me know if you desire the 3 lb size and I’ll try to get that for you.

I will be open with blueberries today and all next week. This is our second harvest from these plants and a third is still out there waiting to ripen. The season is short and will end in 2 – 3 weeks. Get your blueberry fill while you can and stock your freezer J

We have adjusted our stand schedule to accommodate the requests of folks for preferred hours. This schedule is a test – both for days open and hours open. I’ll adjust the schedule next week based on the traffic and demand for each of the days and hours.

Today ------- 10:30 to 12:00 and back again at 4:30 to 5:30.

This schedule should help folks who are early birds, folks who normally come around 12:30 and those of you who can never catch us after work.

Then….
Sunday 10:30 to 12:00 and back again at 4:30 to 5:30

Monday 10:30 to 12:00 and back again at 4:30 to 5:30

Wednesday 10:30 to 12:00 (and possibly until 2:00 alongside Petaluma Bounty) and back again at 4:30 to 5:30.
