Also, keep on the lookout for a blueberry update! Little did we know that when we purchased land this past year, we purchased an old blueberry field. This field has been out of production for some time (decades.) However, it is still producing big, beautiful, delightful tasting berries! I have been enjoying a handful each day as they ripen. Berries are 100% chemical free and almost ready for the market table! – I am hoping to have some available this week, but estimating they will ripen up with lots available for the following week!
To preorder, please email inquire@thewoventrifecta.com. Orders accepted through 8am Friday. Cash/check/card/venmo accepted!
Cheers to good growing!
