This year the field is a bit different than we expected. Some bald spots (See collage slide 2 2&3) due to early germination issues & the multiple wind & hail storms we received. That being said we also have a TON of flowers that have decided to bloom early so we are opening the field for full access on June 22nd.

These photos of the field is how it currently looks as of yesterday. Most of our early bloomers are of our Yellow head Multi-stem Giant variety. They currently just have the top bloom however will continue to stem out their multi branches and produce throughout the festival so if you do come out to pick please only pick a fully bloomed flower head.

There is a good amount of storm damage at the farm from the weather last night.

The farm is partially flooded in the south east corner. And all the giant sunflowers in that area took a HEAVY amount of damage. Looks like we may have a good amount of loss from the sunflower field in that area.

Looks like it also knocked a tremendous amount of peaches on the ground. Which is frustrating because we didn’t have all that many left unscathed from the hail storm earlier.

Sharing the bumps & bruises with y’all because this is part of being a farm, this is part of being a small business in Texas. This is our reality when the weather rolls in and we’re directly in its path. We do our best to prepare for freak weather events but sometimes there isn’t much else to be done but wait and see.

Y’all stay safe out there… We’re closing early due to this weather.

Pick Your Own Peach Update...

If you haven’t heard, the storms last week dropped some good size hail on the farm. Our peach crop looks like 90% has damage. 😞

We were going to open June Gold on Memorial Day weekend, but I don’t think the fruit will be able to get that far.

We are going to go ahead and open the June Gold block for picking this weekend to allow y’all to come get whatever you want. We know for some of you, it’s a yearly tradition to come get peaches - and we still wanted to offer that - we just want to set expectations.

Due to the damage, we are going to dramatically lower the price of the peaches to $1.75/lb and waive any picking fees. Even the good ones you get may have internal bruising due to the hail.

The Galaxy block also has quite a bit of damage and we are still 3 weeks out from harvest on those. The problem with the damage is that over the next few weeks, these wounds will rot and mold and bugs will get in them and it may spread to even the good fruit. I don’t know that we’ll open Galaxy at all for picking.

Even more sadly, this is the last year for the peaches. Four years ago, we started rotating out of peaches and into Christmas Trees and these are the last two blocks to go. They were the customer favorites, so we held on to them as long as possible, but now it’s time to complete our rotation into Christmas trees. We anticipate harvesting the Christmas tree blocks beginning next year. It’s a depressing ending to the whole initial reason why I started the farm (good local peaches), but as I look towards the future, I am optimistic and hopeful as the farm continues to invest in other seasons of the year.

In case y'all ever wanted to know what hail damaged peaches look like ...

Fruit picking update: the storms that moved through the other night dropped some good sized hail on the farm.

Unfortunately, it damaged our remaining strawberry crop, our peaches, and our sunflowers. :(

Berries are going to be light for the remainder of the season (a week or possibly two).

Peach crop is 50-70 pct damaged. We are planning on opening the June gold in a couple of weeks (they are blushed and currently sizing up, but not tree ripened yet).

Also this is our last year for peaches! :(

Our giant sunflowers are also about 50 pct damaged. The rest of our sunflowers should be ok.

Update: We talked to the road crew and they expect the road to be open at 1130 - so we should be good to open at noon. See y'all soon!

Previously:
Had about 2 inches of rain overnight.

They have closed the highway in front of the farm due to standing water on it.

The tentative plan is to open at noon assuming the water has receded and they have opened the highway.

We'll update as we know more!
