Olallieberries - These berries are a favorite
of our U-pick customers. They are big, juicy
and they make terrific jam and pie. Olallie-
berries are either a cross between a Young
berry and a Logan berry. Our U-pick olallie-
berries are ripe from the end of June
through July.
Blackberries - We are experimenting with
several varieties of these to find our favorites.
Kiwis - Originally from China, this fruit grows
vineyard-style and is perfect for U-pick in the
late fall. Our location in a cooler climate
means a longer ripening period, giving our
kiwis a superior flavor. Our u-pick kiwis are
available in November or December.
Artichokes - We stick to the old-fashioned Globe variety, which is a perennial plant from stock brought over from Italy many years ago. This variety is much more difficult to grow than the new varieties which are grown from seed, but have inferior flavor.
Broccoli - We selected our favorite variety, which has a deep green color and excellent flavor. It’s even popular with the kids.
Cauliflower - Our cauliflower is rich and nutty in flavor.
Pumpkins - We grow pie pumpkins for our made-from-scratch pumpkin pie.
Peas - Occasionally the birds leave us with a few peas to sell. Nothing better!
