In the Raspberry Patch

Guest Blogger: Jodie Davaz

The summer sun encourages the growth of some tasty homegrown treats in our corner of the world. Some of the very best can be found in a raspberry farm off of Ponderosa Ave.
 

The owner, Mike, began cultivating the you-pick farm with his father-in-law about 35 years ago.

"We get people from all over," Mike said. "The most any group had ever picked at once was about 26 pounds. They said they were making wine."

The raspberry bushes are inhabited by a few rather vocal chickens and is open for exploration in mid-to-late July.
