Overview of Season for Customer

We start selling pints at the markets during July. The picking is slow as only a few berries are ripe so we don't offer quantity discounts yet.

In August, the berries ripen in clusters and our picking crew can really make time. At this time, we offer quantity discounts. It is a great time to store up for winter because you get top quality fruit at a better price and it helps us because we sell larger volumes when we need to. 

In September and October, picking gets pretty scarce but we still manage to bring in fresh berries. The berries in October are called, "perseverance" berries because we have to really struggle to get those last remaining berries off the bushes. A plus of picking the fields so clean is that less falls to ground, minimizing the breeding grounds for pests and thus helping to contain the need for pesticides. It is sort of like having a clean kitchen helps to keep the bugs out and so does having a clean field. We are also blessed with a superb picking crew that goes the extra mile and "perseveres" once the picking slows down. We do reward the extra effort with Christmas bonuses as a way of saying, "Thanks!"

Oh, and if we don't sell out at market, the berries we bring home don't go back to market again the next day for another try. They go in the freezer to make wine, jam, jelly, syrup or juice. We take our motto of "Foremost in Quality" seriously.
