Farm Journal- August
What a bountiful crop of blueberries we have this summer! As we enter the month of August there are about three more weeks of picking left.
The weather has been temperate and we have been able to keep the pests at bay, so far... but have no one explanation for why it has been such a good harvest. We have a theory that the harshness of the winter past may have encouraged the bushes to produce more as a survival instinct- but that is just a theory.
The late bloomers are ripe with more soon to ripen- so come by.
In July, Elsbeth Hay a reporter for WCAI, the Cape's NPR affiliate, visited the farm. To listen to her excellent story, if we do say so ourselves, follow this link: http://www.capeandislands.org/topic/local-food-report
