BLUEBERRIES & HAY

Hay: baled and in the barn, price is $10/bale this year.  Prefer to sell locally through September and the remaining inventory will be sold overseas.  This hay has been spray, chemical and fertilizer free for 22 years. Organic farmers usually spray 8 sprays per year on most of their crops.  Albeit, organic they are still sprays and we don't spray or spread anything.  The quality of our soil, peat mixed with Tromp loam, allows us to farm without fertilizer.  We might force more production with commercial fertilizer but the flavor, and food safety of the crops would not be the same.   One farmer took our hay to the NW Washington Fair last year and told us the horses ate the hay, licked up the chaff from the trough and would not touch the "other" hay.  He said they stood waiting for more of the GOOD STUFF.

Blueberries: the taste test on blueberries from our farm and our neighbors conventionally grown farm convinced us that we are producing crops that are better and we originally produced chemical free crops for the health and safety factor but now we know they also taste better.  Price is $1.50 U-PICK and $3.00 PICKED this year.  Free delivery Seattle to Vancouver BC.

Please bring kids, bikes, a blanket and lunch basket when you come to UPick Blueberries.  We love to share this beautiful 111 year family farm so come and enjoy.

You may even bring your group to play baseball in the hay fields now that they are harvested.  See you soon.
