Greetings,
I hope you have enjoyed Maine strawberries over the last month. Fresh Maine produce is a ray of light. We are so grateful to those who took the time to come and forage. We hope you found joy in the experience.
Though the season didn't yield the many pounds we dreamed of, we still view this year as growth. We have a load of organic compost from Benson Farm that Phillip has started to apply to the plants. Plus we are putting down more peas and oat seeds for extra nitrogen and weed suppression. Hopefully, this will get the plants more up to par for next year.
Closed to You Forage for the season. A couple of pounds of strawberries remain and our raspberry patch is starting to produce. We are plugging in the fridges at the farm stand and will stock them with what we can pick. I will try to keep the website updated with our availability. Feel free to stop by sunrise to sunset. $3 a pint for strawberries. $4 a pint for raspberries.
Also, I wanted to remind you that our observation deck is available for rent. Hosted a beautiful wedding earlier this month. It made us wish more people would use the space. We are searching for caterers and vendors to add to our list. Find more details here.
I have so many more things I'd love to share with you but there is a lot of work to do.
