Agriberry Farm and CSA

The current stars of the season are stone fruits. 😍

When you visit us at market this time of year, you’ll see white and yellow peaches available. Historically, white peaches were just that: a white-fleshed peach with a similar flavor profile to yellow peaches, but just a bit sweeter. Belle of Georgia or Georgia Belle and JH Hale (the only peach tree that requires cross pollination) were the stalwart white peach varieties until Floyd Zaiger began selecting the sweetest varieties of white peaches and breeding for that characteristic, along with firmer flesh and more appealing color (both lacking in Georgia Bell and JH Hale at the time). Subacid peaches taste mellow and sweet because their acidity level is low or null. However, they lack that signature peachy zing you find in traditional yellow peaches. Acidity also tends to shine in recipes with added sweetener, so if you’re going for a peach pie or cobbler, freestone yellow peaches are the best choice.

White and yellow nectarines are botanically similar to peaches, but sport smooth skin, unlike their fuzzy cousins. Some sources claim that nectarines are the result of breeding peaches and plums, while others claim they are genetically identical save one gene that controls whether or not the fruit has fuzz (botanically referred to as “pubescence”), which is believed to be dominant in peaches and recessive in nectarines.

💪 Meet Angel Worton, Warehouse Manager extraordinaire!

Angel grew up in Hampton, Virginia, and has worked at Agriberry Farm for two and half years. In addition to managing the massive puzzle that is the warehouse, they have also worked in the kitchen making jam, sold fruit at markets, and driven fruit deliveries around in our berry buses! Let's get to know Angel some more...

🧑‍🌾 What’s your favorite part of about your job at Agriberry Fam?
Our strong and collaborative team, access to fresh fruit (also sharing with my friends and family) , and my beautiful daily commute!

🖤 What’s your favorite fruit to eat and why?
Hard to say just one! Blackberries have always been a favorite since childhood, and you can't beat one of Chuck's sugar cube melons!

🍑 Which fruit do you identify with?
A yellow nectarine! Sweet but also tart, and usually late to the game. When I'm given enough time and patience, I can soften up to be a delight!

🧶 What do you spend your time doing outside of work?
Crafting, spending time with friends, and laying in my hammock. I also love to camp and have an obsession with learning skills in bushcraft/outdoor survival.

🥎 What’s an unknown fact about yourself?
I played softball for 9 years and nearly went to college for it!

Blackberry picking season is HERE!

👩‍🌾 Chickasaw blackberries are the stars in the field right now! Chickasaw was never commercially expanded due to its thorny canes and large fruits, and thus plant supply was replaced by newer varieties. Farmer Chuck connected with breeders through the North American Raspberry and Blackberry Association to propagate this variety for us. We love Chickasaw for its eye-popping 🤩 berry size, amazing flavor, and its ripening dates. As far as we know, we are the only farmers who grow delicious Chickasaw blackberries!

🧒🧒🧒 We had quite a young crew out on the farm this week to learn about where berries come from and how to harvest them. The eager youngsters of the Shalom Baptist Church summer camp had a delightful time picking blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries during their educational tour.

The Hanover Master Gardeners 🐞 started their gleaning days at the end of June. This dedicated crew spends three hours in the field every week picking berries to donate to community food banks and pantries. Raspberries are the most tender fruit we grow, and therefore not often on the donation roster. The gleaning crew plays a huge role in making access to nutritious, delicious fruit a reality. We're so grateful for them!

The farm is abuzz with activity 🐝

We are in full berry bliss over here now that summer has officially begun: blackberries, blueberries, red raspberries, peaches, and strawberries are all on the harvest list, with delicious additions weekly from our partner farms!

❤️🍓🧡🍑💛💚💙🫐💜🖤

With such a bounty of fruit, we're thrilled to have a robust harvest crew joining us for the season. We've got over 👩‍🌾 50 🧑‍🌾 harvesters deployed daily, many of whom are having their first job experience! Plenty of harvesters have returned from past years, as well, and it's always nice to have familiar folks on the farm.

🚌

Even with a large crew, there are still plenty of berries for the picking! In the past several weeks, we've hosted almost 100 students from the Advanced Career Education Center at Hermitage for educational tours of the farm and berry picking. These bright middle-school students are in summer camps focusing on landscape design, event planning, hospitality, entrepreneurship, culinary arts, and pastry arts. A few of them already knew what fertigation is, which warms our farmer hearts and gives us hope for the next generation of food growers.

Happy Father’s Day, Chuck! 🎉

If you’ve ever enjoyed a piece of fruit from Agriberry Farm, Chuck is to thank! Chuck is the hardest working man we know. From the field to the market and everything in between, Chuck has a hand in it all. We are eternally grateful for the love and care he brings to the farm 👨‍🌾

Meet Pierson Geyer, our General Manager! 🧑‍🌾

Born in the Northern Neck of Virginia, Pierson is the son of Agriberry Farm founder Anne Geyer & Farmer Chuck Geyer. Pierson has worked on the farm for 14 years, which means he’s had plenty of time to try on a few hats: before general manager, he was the director of operations and field supervisor, but truly he’s done almost everything and anything on this farm!

🍑 What’s your favorite part of this job?
Being an educational conduit to fruit

🌱 What’s your favorite fruit to eat and why?
Peak ripeness blackberries, because it’s hard to replicate the experience, I grew up eating them, and we do it uniquely exceptionally!

🫐 Which fruit do you identify with?
Red raspberries, because as long as I am well fed and get enough sunlight, I’ll keep showing up everyday!

🍎 How do you like to spend your time off of work?
I’m a runner!

🧙What’s an unknown fact about yourself?
I have multiple Magic: The Gathering Pro Points and nearly qualified for the Pro Tour in 2018!

The fruit parade is starting! 🍓🫐🍒🍑

We've heard a lot of excitement at markets about more fruit variety with raspberries and blueberries are in the mix. We're ✨thrilled✨ for even more variety now that the fruit parade, as we call it, has started. You'll see cherries 🍒 and peaches 🍑 at market this weekend coming from the Chiles family up in Albermarle, Virginia.

How about our Hanover peaches? 🧐

Hanover peaches have fruit on the trees! The first stage of stone fruit development is called "shuck split," which occurs when the tiny fruit pushes its way through the parts of the flower that remains on the branch. Shortly after shuck split, the fruits go through pit hardening. During the pit hardening stage, there's not much fruit growth, as the nutrition is supporting the hardening of the pit.

🌳

It's at this stage in the tree's life that we thin damaged peaches and give about the length of a dollar bill's worth of space between each peach to manage the fruit load. Want to learn more about thinning peaches? Check out this week's newsletter, "A Passion for Peaches" ➡️ mailchi.mp/agriberry/peachpassion

👩‍🌾 Do you or someone you know want to work on a berry farm?

Well you're in luck, because we're hiring!

📝

Back in the early days of Agriberry, our main employment focus was on first time workers and young workers. Did you know that you can start working on a farm at the age of 14? Anne's vision for the farm was to offer young people an opportunity to get first-time job experiences and start saving for college, a vehicle, and other essential investments young adults make, all while learning about small fruit farming. We carry that vision on today by continuing to hire first time workers every summer for the berry harvest.

🫐🍓🍇

There are many joys that come with joining the harvest crew. First and foremost: Fruit access! The harvest team can snack while they pick (all while maintaining food safe conditions, which means getting really good at tossing berries into your mouth!). PLUS, when your office is the farm, you get plenty of adorable visitors...

🐸🦌🐇🐦

We're also looking for marketers to hop on our farmers market team! If you need some part time work and want to be part of the local food community, this role is for you!

🛍️

Most of our leadership team started out on the field, kitchen, or farmers market teams! All this cross-training aligns with our educational core value, and there is plenty to learn here at the farm. If you're looking for a great team to join with room for growth, check out our hiring page https://agriberry.com/hiring/

Anne brings a ✨️ joie de vivre ✨️ to the farm that we've missed while she was away on a grand adventure.

We're so lucky to have our number one fruit fan back!

🍓🫐🍓🫐🍓

05/09/2024

😮🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

This week, we donated over 1,000 pounds of delicious, nutritious strawberries to and Moments of Hope (Mo Hope) Food Pantry!

Students in several RPS schools got strawberries just hours later, and Mo Hope started distributing to their network immediately.

Here on the farm, we know there’s a home for every piece of fruit. When we are blessed with spring abundance like we have been recently, it’s important for us to share the fruit love 💕

We also hopped over to Hanover High School to show our appreciation for our local teacher with some jams, apple butter, and applesauce!

Keep an eye out on our stories for weekend markets!

The farm is blooming & we're swooning!

👩‍🔧 Meet Juniper, Membership & Engagement Coordinator

Born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley, Juniper has worked at Agriberry Farm for four years. She started in the Agriberry Farm kitchen, flitted about to various other roles (marketer, office assistant, tour guide, etc.), and has landed in a unique position that's new to all of us!

As the Membership & Engagement Coordinator, Juniper manages our Community Support Agriculture (CSA) memberships, hosts educational tours of the farm, writes our weekly educational newsletter, co-manages social media (maybe she's writing this post??), leads our gleaning teams, and so much more! Let's get to know Juniper a little better...

❓ What is your favorite part of working at Agriberry Farm?
💬 I love experiencing how excited people get about fruit!! I also love learning about small fruit farming, and sharing what I'm learning.

❓What is your favorite fruit to eat and why?
💬 Whichever fruit was just fresh harvested, because I know it's the tastiest & most nutritious! Especially when it's sun-warmed and right off the vine.

❓Which fruit do you identify with?
💬 Muscadine grapes! They have a firm exterior & *may* intimidate folks who have never encountered them, but inside they are sweet! They're also native to the southeastern U.S., just like me!

❓What do you spend your time doing outside of work?
💬 I bake gluten-free sourdough bread & pastries, lovingly tend to my home garden, travel as much as possible, AND I just recently signed up to get my doggo fix by volunteering at RACC. Look out for some Friday Foster action in our stories coming soon 👀

❓Tell us an unknown fact about yourself.
💬 I'm visiting one new-to-me Virginia State Park a month. If you see me at the farm or at a market, ask me which parks I've got on the list!

Another fun fact about Juniper:
🍈 She starts all of our Sugar Cube melon plants from seed in her home greenhouse before they're planted here on the farm!

🦸‍♀️ We've got berry guardians!

Winter ended several weeks ago, but we're not quite out of the frost zone. Here in the Richmond area, 🌎 Earth Day (April 20th) tends to be the last frost and 🎃 Halloween (October 31st) tends to be the beginning of temperatures dipping below freezing overnight.

Last weekend, temperatures dipped close to freezing overnight, so the field crew deployed fabric row covers. 💪 Covering 100'-300' rows is some of the most intense physical labor we do at the farm.

🎵 Nothing I can say, partial eclipse of the farm 🎵

04/04/2024

📖🤓Fun fact: the "fruit" of the strawberry plant is not technically a fruit in the botanical sense 🤯

The true fruits are the small, seed-like achenes embedded on its surface 🧐The fleshy, red part of the strawberry that we eat is derived from the receptacle (a.k.a. the base of the flower).
