Blueberry Season Finished

We are disappointed to announce that our blueberry season has already ended. Due to a late freeze we had a very small crop, and we are so sorry that we didn’t have enough berries for everyone to get their fill this year. Thanks to everyone who did come out to pick, we really appreciate you being understanding of the circumstances. We are hoping for a bumper crop in 2021. See you then!

We will be open for blueberry picking on Friday, July 10, from 8am until we are picked out. We have a very limited supply of berries at this time. We hope to have another day of picking next week.

Blueberry Update

Due to a hard freeze in mid-May our 2020 blueberry crop will be starting later than usual. Our earliest varieties, which had already set little green berries when temperatures dropped to 23° F on May 10, have been the hardest hit and will not produce fruit this year. Our mid-season and late varieties were still in bloom at the freeze, and suffered less damage. It is difficult to anticipate the size of our crop at this time, so please stay posted for more updates to come as the berries ripen. We do expect to have U-pick opportunities as well as limited quantities of pre-picked berries starting in late June and lasting through mid-July.

Blueberries are Blooming

Our blueberry bushes are in full bloom, and we anticipate another excellent blueberry crop this summer.  Blueberry season typically lasts from early June to mid-July, and we look forward to providing you with safe opportunities to pick your own delicious, naturally grown blueberries amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.  Please watch for more information about picking as the crop begins to ripen in June.

Thanks for supporting your local farmers and businesses in these difficult times of health and economic crises.

Virginia Flour Club

Do you like to make bread, pancakes, muffins, pies, pizza, or biscuits?  Do you value fresh, nutritious, high quality Virginia grown foods?  If so, read on to learn about the Virginia Flour Club.

I would like to offer an opportunity for bakers and cooks in the Harrisonburg area to get access to Virginia grown and ground flours.  As a board member for Common Grain Alliance I have an extensive network of grain farmers and millers in the region with whom I meet periodically.  Here’s how the flour club will work:  prior to my meetings (which happen quarterly at the minimum) I will send out a list of available flours or other grain products and prices to flour club members, members will place their order, I will pick up the product at my meeting and store it at my farm in Keezletown for flour club members to pick up at their convenience.

Please email me at hannahrosewengerjohnson@gmail.com if you would like to join the Virginia Flour Club, or if you have any further questions.
