WOW! Spartans Are (Mostly) Picked Out!

7/8/2023

 
We had a hardcore crew of insatiable Spartan fanatics at the farm today and they did a great job of lightening our loaded  canes.  They did so well, in fact, that we're going to close for ripening tomorrow (Sunday, July 8th). 

The Nelsons are oh-so-close to being ready.  We wrestled with the idea of making tomorrow our opening day for those, but we think you'll have tastier results if we wait a week.  There will also be fewer green and under-ripe berries to navigate around.  Even next weekend, it will still be "early season conditions" for Nelsons.

Is this the end for Spartans this year?!  Definitely not!  We expect that today's picking has cleared the way for more ripening of the plants that still had green berries.  We will definitely update the blog and the home page to let you know when green turns blue.
