Farm Update: October 24.
The apple orchard is now closed.
The temperature dropped a lot lower
then predicted, and we hit 20 degrees
here early this morning. We did pick
apples yesterday and will have several
varieties at the Princeton Farmers' Market
this Saturday.
What a year, lots of weather ups and
downs. Shorter blueberry season and
longer apple one. We appreciate all the
people who visited this year and supported
our family farm. We thank you.
Dan and Carol Whitcomb
If looking for frozen blueberries just give us a
call and we will make arrangements.
We also have maple syrup from
the trees on the farm, along with jam, apple butter
and fruit syrups.
While supplies last.
