Fruit Farm Update We thank all who came to our you-pick, fruit farm during
the 2012 season. It is our hope
that you had an enjoyable experience.
We appreciate that our customers were respectful of the farm and its
operation. The fruit areas
were mostly left litter free compared to past years. The honor system for payment had few
concerns. Thank you for the
donated picking containers. If all goes well, the farm will open by July 1 2013 -- the
exact date to be announced later.
The orchard area was mostly covered during the storm surge from
Hurricane Sandy with Chesapeake Bay water. The clean-up continues with respect to the debris and
people trash that washed in from the marsh and bay. It will not be apparent until late Spring what salt-water
damage may have occurred in the orchard. The fruit available may be limited. This will be our sixteenth season that the farm has been
operated -- mostly as a community service. The price will remain the
same. All fruit will be 75¢ per
pound. Also, the farm will be closed on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and then open
on the following four days. If
you have any questions or comments, please call (757-442-7287) or email
<fosterjg@esva.net>. (1/5/13) |
