The berries are still not plump and sweet. We've been waiting for the slightly "dehydrated" fruit to both size and ripen. That extreme heat we had in mid August has created significant problems in the fields. We have more than a ton of orders to fill and the berries are not sizing. They are sour and dry right now. We've never seen this before. The Maple trees on the farm have shriveled leaves and we've never seen that before either.
For those who got their berries early, please enjoy them. We'll keep trying and we'll keep you posted. We can't figure out what's going to happen next. We usually harvest for 4 more weeks until the first heavy frost in mid October. We shall see.......
