Changes in the Picking Schedule

We have had to close in mid season to allow more ripening only one other year. We need to do so again. We are closing for public picking during the weekdays this week, to give the remaining crop some undisturbed time to ripen. We should have a great picking day on Saturday, September 7. We will probably do the same thing the following week(s). We will see how this pause/pick this week works. To enforce the moratorium, we will have the place patrolled daily:

The weekend fundraiser was a rousing success. Today's harvest was paltry, given how picked out of ripe berries we were/are and the weather. Nevertheless we saw some nice people out in the patch and volunteering to work the blueberry building. I am sure the customers appreciated the change in help, at least getting my curmudgeony self off the line, so to speak. Saturday's harvest made up for today's. There were almost 800 lbs in total harvested over the two days. Nice work public! Thanks for supporting these two worthy groups.
