Concord Ridge Fruit Farms

Cool Spring temps. prevent an early bud break in our Concord vineyard.

I for one, am glad to see the winter of 2010/2011  in the past!  I’m sure you will all agree that with record breaking snowfalls, it was a very long winter. We were sure glad to turn the calendar to April and welcome the warmer temps., greener grass, and lovely spring flowers!

We are anxiously awaiting the start of our homegrown asparagus season.  We know many of you, too, are craving the first fresh vegetable of the year after such a long winter! Looks as though things will be a little later this year as opposed to last year.  We need warmer weather to warm the ground allowing the asparagus to grow and become productive.  We will let you know as soon as we pick our first batch and will have it available at our fruit stand.

We have stayed very busy this spring getting everything trimmed and ready for a new year. Temperatures have

remained relatively cool preventing an early budbreak like last year.  We are hoping and praying that we get a gradual warm up and avoid a spring freeze. We have a lot of exciting things going on at our farm this year including plans for a new strawberry field.  We look forward to seeing you all again and are excited and so thankful to begin another year.
