Along with this summer heat comes fresh Bauman grown berries! New varieties of berries are coming in daily; we have 8 varieties available right now including Marionberries, Boysenberries, Tayberries, Logans, Kotatas, Raspberries, Blueberries, Obsidians, and more! We know that the economy is tough, so we are doing our part to help out by dropping the price of berries by $3.00 a crate! ALL of our blackberries are only $19.95 for a full 10lb crate.

At this price it makes it a lot easier to handle and because they are so reasonable this year we think that it is a great time to learn how to make freezer jam if you haven’t ever done it before. If you don’t have your own recipe, or if you want to try a new one, check this out! This is the recipe that Barb herself uses when she makes freezer jam, it is quick and easy and always makes a great batch of jam!

With how quickly summer is coming on it is hard for us to keep you up to date on all of the great things that we have fresh from our own fields! Along with all of the berries we have lettuce, peas, beautiful walla walla onions, carrots, beets, broccoli, and also some big and very nice cauliflower. We have started our own cauliflower a little earlier than usual this year and it tastes fantastic, since the crop is doing so well we have dropped our price to $1.19lb! Another item that we have been asked for a lot lately is our Super Sweet Corn, the corn is running a little late this year because of the weather we have been having. We are expecting to have it in within the next 2 weeks or so; keep checking into the facebook page and to our produce page, and we will let you know the minute it comes up from the fields!

We never want you to miss your favorite fruit or vegetable so please feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email and we will let you know if it’s ready! If not we can take your name and number and give you a call when it comes in!

We hope that all of you have had a great start to your summer and that the 4th of July was great for you! We also want to remind you that we will be closed on August 7th for a family wedding, and will reopen the following Monday. Don’t forget to stay cool and keep your plants watered this week!
Until next time,

~The Baumans
