Red Raspberries –
Hello everyone and I hope you are all having a great summer! We sure can’t complain about not having enough heat. It has certainly been a record year for heat and the crops continue to come on early! We are currently picking our fall red raspberries and they look and taste fantastic! We offer them already picked at our fruit stand for 2/$6 or U-pick for $2.00/lb. Our U-Pick hours are from 9am-6pm 7 days/wk. until the season is over.

Other Crops:
Grapes are ripening rapidly. We expect Fredonias to be ready around Labor Day with Niagaras around Sept. 15th. Our Concord grapes should be ready around the 3rd week of Sept. but keep an eye on our website as I will let you know when they are ready for u-pick. Apples should be starting around late August starting with Gala and Macintosh. At our roadside fruit stand you can still find blueberries which are coming to an end soon, tomatoes, squash, peppers, and raspberries. Remember to visit us at the Niles and Buchanan farmers markets every Saturday morning where we offer all this and more including  peaches, sweet corn, local honey, and homemade jams!
