this newsletter goes out to all the bulk fruit lovers

We’ll continue to share abundance with you whenever we can get it, but every season comes with it’s own challenges. This season there were some losses in the northeast fruit world, and across the country too, so we wanted to share some updates:

Due to national shortages, the pitting facility won’t be doing a run of pitted tart cherry buckets this year, and it doesn’t sound like fresh tart cherries or apricots will be available in any bulk quantity either.

So it goes with farming in a changing climate, here’s hoping for more abundance next year and to enjoying all the fruity sweetness that we’ve still got around us! Blueberry and sweet cherry season is upon us and there’s lots to go around. And peaches and plums are on the horizon.

blueberries and sweet cherries abound! Want some?!

Eat a boatload of fruit right now, share with all your fruit loving friends, or squirrel it away for winter; there are so many ways to enjoy all this fruity goodness! Your winter self will thank you for savoring the sweet tastes of summer.

Possibly. We will put out any unspoken for berries for sale first come first served. But, if you think you want a flat/peck/clamshell, we recommend pre-ordering to reserve it!

WILL THIS ORDER FORM STILL BE OPEN NEXT WEEK?

We don’t know! If harvest allows it may, but always better to order sooner than later.

No, we are sold out. You can join our waitlist here.
