Welcome March! Graf Cherries has completed its winter pruning to give the trees all the opportunity to produce a bumper crop this year. We also had some "sick" trees this fall; they were removed and cut into firewood for our home. We love having a nice worm fire to come into after working out in the orchard.
The order form for the bee hives arrived in the mail the other day and we're excited to get them. We're hoping for good pollination weather so we can get a good fruit set. One calm, sunny and warm afternoon can make our crop.
Marsha is starting seeds indoors for her garden this spring. She is planning a vegetable garden to take to the local farmers market. We're expanding our garden this year and plan to plant a large amount; we are beginning a small community supported agriculture program in the lower Yakima Valley.
We're taking orders for small (1-2 people) medium (3-4+ people) and large (6+ people) boxes. The boxes would begin around the first of June and contain seasonal vegetables, fruits, small bouquet of fresh cut flowers and a proportionate amount of fresh eggs. Recipes and ideas on how to use the items in your box will also be included.
The boxes would be delivered each week on scheduled days and times beginning the first of June and running through September or October depending on Mother Nature. A small box costs $300, a medium box runs $500 and a large box is $700 for the season. We are willing to negotiate a payment plan too.
We will also have farm fresh eggs available throughout the year and pork available in the fall. Please feel free to contact us at grafcherries@gmail.com.
Keep in touch!
