2013 NEWS:
- New this year: an August/September share that includes BLUEBERRIES. (SOLD OUT)
- Gone this year: BLACK RASPBERRIES. A planting of these typically bears for 6-7 years, and ours succumbed to disease right on schedule. To be replaced this spring by (more disease-tolerant) PURPLE RASPBERRIES, which will start bearing next year.
