our Perennials page.
Apples, early September to mid November. From the small sweet Chestnut crab apple in early September to the Baldwin and Northern Spy in late October, with several wild, but good-eating varieties thrown in. We also dry many of our apples.
Blackberries Coming Soon! We planted a dozen blackberry plants in the spring of 2007, and expect to have
blackberries for market within three years.
Grapes*, Mid September to mid October. Planted in the spring of 2004, the vines began bearing in
2006, and really came into abundance in 2007. The season begins with Fredonia (small dark purple grapes in tight
bunches) maturing
first, followed by Kay Gray (looser bunches of larger green grapes), and finally Concord (loose bunches of
large purple grapes). All varieties are seeded.
Pears, Late September to mid November. We have one tree each of Bartlett (late Sept.) and Bosc (mid
October), and bring in a few bushels of each in a good year. Bartletts are on the left, Bosc on the right.
We also dry many of our pears.
Rhubarb*, mid May to mid June. The pie plant, rhubarb also makes a wonderful sauce for ice cream or as a
subsitute for the tartness of cranberries in a muffin recipe. Ask for our rhubarb recipe brochure. We have been expanding
our plot by planting seeds from our current plot.
