What’s Pickin’?
Weekend of 7/10
We are getting deeper into the peak of blueberry times here. There are FOUR varieties available for the harvest!
Reka
Blueray
Chandler : A sweet mid-season blueberry released by the USDA in 1995. Nurseries sometimes say that this is the largest blueberry ever, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, although they do seem to be larger this season than any other I can remember.
Darrow : These sweet/tart berries are lovely and beautiful. If it were not for George Darrow doing extensive work, study, and education on highbush blueberries in Vermont in the mid-twentieth century, the world of blueberries and other small fruits would look much different. It may not even exist the way we know it.
Plums
We will have pre-picked Early Golden plums available in the farm stand beginning on Thursday until they are gone!
Early Golden : The first plum of the season! This hybrid plum is believed to have originated as a chance seedling in Fonthill, Ontario, Canada. It is a small (around an inch in diameter), yellow skin, yellow fleshed plum that often gets pink/red blushed by the sun. Freestone and great for fresh eating, baking, and/or preserving. I love these each year because they are super fragrant, I haven't eaten a fresh plum since September, and they usher us into plum season in such a beautiful way.
On the Radar
We will be harvesting Harcot, the second and final variety of apricot at RHF in the coming days. We may harvest some on the weekend. If so, we will have them available in the farm stand. If not, next week they will be available in the farm stand. I will do my best to keep you posted on this. Shiro plums are a couple of weeks out from harvest.
Join us in the taproom Thursday through Sunday through the harvest season for locally-crafted drinks and food pop-ups. Keep an eye on our events calendar for upcoming live music, featured ferments (tastings by other NYS makers), classes, festivals, ticketed dinners, and more. See you soon!
