The Unexpected Farm Girl : July 2015

Wednesday, July 22, 2015

It's a scorcher most days out here, but we are busy setting up the fertilizer injector so we can add fertilizer directly to the irrigation line.

Yum. Had to make sure I took a photo before I ate these, they looked (and tasted) SO good!

It's HOT

LOVE telling the difference between the varietals.

What a treat to arrive at the farm and uncover this beauty, among others.

And ahhh, now the part I've been eagerly awaiting, where I can start to get to know and compare the flavor profiles of our different varieties.

Thing 2 can't wait to get the berries home to taste.

packed up for another unofficial taste test with my yoga class - great, helpful comments on flavor profiles

From farm to table....from raspberries to yummy raspberry sorbet in only a few minutes!

"I am SO not eating the sorbet before we even scoop it out for everyone."
