Hello Summer!

 It is finally starting to feel like summer at Sauvie Island Farms.

The sun is shining and the temperatures are warming up.

Our strawberries continue to ripen in the fields.

The first picking of Hoods was great this season, but with the second picking they are smaller in size.  There are more green to ripen in the field, so if you are wanting to u-pick Hoods we should have them this week and into next week. 


Our Shuksan Strawberries have been beautiful this year.  Plenty to pick, and the flavor is excellent.  We should have easy picking for this week & next also.

A new variety at our farm this year is Puget Crimson.  This is a larger size berry and a great sweet flavor.  Many people have said they really like this berry.  This is a "later in the season to ripen' strawberry, so we have nice picking now and it should continue for the next week or two.  We see lots of green ones waiting to ripen.

There are nice peony blooms this week.  They won't last long with the warmer weather.  $1.00 bloom or 12/$10
