What's Ready at Ledge Top Farm?
July 17, 2010
Raspberries are coming to an end but the next crop will be available in August; blueberries are plentiful. Strawberries have slowed down, but we hope for more early in August. The hens are laying fewer eggs at the moment (they’re hot, too!). Some items are in limited supply right now because of the balance between demand and growth rates, so stay tuned!
