Re-opening Wednesday, August 24, 2011

Steep Hill Farm — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:16:29 +0000

After a short hiatus to re-charge the field and us, we have decided to start picking again Wednesday morning at 8 A.M and pick until 7 P.M., weather permitting.

If you want more berries, now is the time to come pick. Don’t wait until it is too late. Summer comes but once a year. Your housework will wait, the grass will still need to be mowed, but blueberries do not wait for us.

Hope to see you in the patch,

We will be closed for a couple of days as the next set of berries ripen. Keep checking our daily blog or call 685-4155 for the next picking date. Much depends on the weather conditions, but we anticipate that it should be mid week or so. It will be great picking .

We just had a downpour here in Fayette (5:00 P.M.) and the field is drenched. The road is also muddy going to the parking lot. So we have decided to close early.

Will be open tomorrow 8.A.M. to 7 P.M., weather permitting.

Our first picker of the season, Alex, came to pick one last time before she heads out to Oregon tomorrow on her flight back home. And Joe brought his family who was visiting from Las Vegas to pick blueberries in Maine at our farm. A daughter brought her father to pick blueberries as a surprise outing for his eightieth birthday. Mary came to pick two more quarts so her company could make a blueberry pie for supper. Anne and Heather and Caleb came to pick as they have almost every year for ten years.

Summer marches on as August heads into the final weeks of summer. First it was strawberries, and then raspberries and now its blueberries. Before you know it, it will be apple picking season. So before the blueberries go the way of the strawberries and raspberries, you should make your way to the blueberry patch one last time. Or you may find that you waited just one day too long and it might be another whole year before you can pick this wonderful fruit again.

We will be open from 8 to 7 Friday.
