Mid June brings the sweet taste of homegrown Strawberries. This popular fruit has drawn locals and visitors alike back to Orchard Market year after year. Large, sweet, juicy Strawberries--excellent for freezing or jam making. If you would like to pick your own, the patch is open to the public during mid-season. Many of our customers love to share the harvesting experience with their children--from picking the strawberries to enjoying homemade jam.
The next crops to harvest are sweet and tart cherries. Other summer fruits and vegetable include blueberries, honey rock melons, pickles, broccoli, cauliflower. We are also harvesting several types of early Apples.
The many different varieties of Peaches from our farm keep this delicious fruit available from mid July until September. Peaches are excellent for freezing and canning to be enjoyed all year. Another customer favorite is Orchard Market’s famous “Extra Sweet” Sweet Corn. We pick our corn fresh every morning to maximize freshness and sugar content.
