A Sprinkling of Mayhaw Berries
SOLD
This is how the harvest begins. Some of the berries are ripe and they fall from the trees. We have various ground covers, a parachute, tarps and shade cloth, spread out to catch them from the trees that are ripening first. We’re not thrilled with the number of berries we’re seeing this year. Only about […]
Mayhaw Berry Harvest Festival 2017
SOLD
It’s that time of year again. Time for the Mayhaw Trees to be producing berries! But are they? There was a late frost just as the trees came out of dormancy, and this winter was too warm and dry. So we are checking them every day to see what the harvest might be like. For […]
The Life of a Mayhaw Pond

What’s going on at the farm? No rain!

The rain was certainly welcome but we could have done without the delay, and later that day the damage to trees and power lines.
