Local Strawberries Have Arrived!

To view the latest from Ridge Berry Farm visit our new blog and site!

The Season is progressing and a good sign of this is the availability of local strawberries. We were thrilled last week to get our hands on our first "flat". At the Tea Room, this means goodbye to the seasonal Rhubarb pie and hello to the traditional Strawberry pie.

A real treat: our first flat of local Strawberries

Of course, we now aim to have a few additional goodies in the Tea Room based on local Strawberries (from tarts to cakes).

This does not totally mean the demise of Rhubarb at the farm. We're letting our plants grow and keep processing whatever we gather into jams. They really capture the taste of Spring better than any of our other preserves.

Meanwhile at the farm, we still manage to progress on our Growing Dome water tank project. We discovered that there are some serious limitations as to how deep we can bury the structure. As a result we lowered it a bit over two feet and we feel that this may just do us fine.

Does not look like much, but once the floor is resurfaced, this should really work out for us.

Finally, we'll close this week's blog entry with a couple of photos from the wedding that has kept us so busy these past few weeks. Official photos have not yet been published so you'll have to make due with this amateur for now.
