..and so are the Jonkherr van Tets red currants, the Pink Champagne currants, Bristol black raspberries, and the ever popular Hinnomaki Red gooseberries.  The Pink Champagne currants are sweeter in flavor than the red currants.  These are great eaten fresh and are used as a baby’s first fruit throughout Europe.  All currants freeze well.   

Need recipe ideas?  We will include a recipe page off of the fruit page in the next few days.   First, check out the Hayward House B&B blog where Michele is posting recipe ideas:  http://thehaywardhouse.com/

Hurray, we can finally begin!  The weather was not exactly kind to the cherries this year – early, hot temperatures, cool weather, and the rain the past week.  The Julelium Hungarian Tart cherries did ripen and we are picking those this week along with strawberries. 

We will begin our Saturday IFM market on June 12th at booth #51 and Tuesday market on June 15th at Dewitt Park.   We will have plenty of duck eggs for sale along with bench grafted apple trees.
