Fall 2023

Greetings All –

Just a quick note to let you all know that I won’t be at the market this weekend, the 28th. But I will be back on November 4, next Saturday. That will likely be our last market for this season. I’ll have apples, pears , Asian pears, and hardy kiwis.

We got our first frost last night, we almost had our first snow a couple of nights ago, it came down to about 300-400′ above us. So grateful it didn’t snow here, too early! Last year the first snow came on November 6, almost a foot, very much too early. Hopefully we’ll get another month before it sets in this year. There’s always a lot to do to clean and get things ready for the dormant season, Thanksgiving is our usual ‘traditional’ first snow date.

We didn’t have any serious bear issues this year, thanks to our bear dog Zora, and the movable electric fencing. The skunks were another issue, somehow post fire and..? was the right conditions for the skunk population to soar. No major issues, but an occasional smelly dog.. No major fires too close and not as smokey as it could’ve been, yeah!

Another season finishing up, I am looking forward to the break. We sincerely thank you all for your continued support, and coming to the market every week. We couldn’t do it with out you! Thank you! See you on the 4th.
