Warm Summer Ripens Grapes Early
Click
here for our weekly Up-Date on Picking conditions
Directions to our Farm
Farm opens Friday, September 2.
The grapes are ripening earlier this year due to the warm summer. Dust
out your baskets, pails and crushers!
We have over 20 varieties of grapes to choose from when you come to our
farm to pick.
The clovers and thistles have been growing rapidly and
the hot weather has caused the flowers to grow profusely -- the honeybees
have been busy.
Bring your pails and jars & we will fill them with honey.
Observation Hive Tells Secrets …
The magical world of the honeybee is now yours to see through our observation
hive. Let your children find the queen, and see what’s happening
in the honeybees unique home.
Picking Tips ...
Small pruning shears are ideal for picking grapes. You may bring your
own or we will provide grape knives along with bags. Our grape knives
are for adult use only. Heavy dew on the grass will make rubber boots
useful for morning picking.
Caution - Road Work!
General Squire Road, where many people drive on to reach our farm on is
being rebuilt and blacktopped. Prepare for possible construction problems.
Hotline Information Updates:
Telephone: Honeyflow Farm will maintain a 24 hour
Hotline (recorded telephone message) throughout the growing season.
