Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally

What's in season in April 2021, and
other timely information:
Notes for April 2021: Spring is here and that means Strawberry season is upon us! It started in February in Florida, Texas, southern California;
then March along the Gulf coast, April in the Deep South and west
coast, May through much of the country, and June in northern areas. Cherries and Blueberries
are
next, about a month later. Of course, cool weather crops, like Rhubarb,
asparagus and greens should be available almost everywhere. Check your area's
copy calendar (see this page) and call your local farms for
seasonal updates.
See these pages to find a local
Strawberry Festival, or a
Cherry or cherry blossom festival
or a Blueberry festival.

easy
home canning, jam and jelly
making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access
recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search.

there are many copycat website listing U-pick farms now. They have all
copied their information from here and usually do not ever update. Since

anything wrong or outdated, please
write me!

[email protected].. Open: Peaches are typically in
season in mid-June, July and sometimes into August. Directions: Call for
directions. Payment: Cash, only.. The orchard replanting process began in
2015 with a little patch of test peach varieties. Once known
as the peach capital of the world, southern Wichita hosted many peach
orchards with one of the country's most renowned being Blood Orchard.The
building was built in 1885 and has been owned by four generations of the
Blood family. Blood Orchards peach trees were contaminated by salt in the
ground water in 1984, thus ending over 100 years of orchards on the family
owned property.There should be a few peach trees ready for picking in
2017!!! Keep checking our website or blog for more updates!!! Click
here for our Facebook page. Payment: Cash, Debit cards,
Visa/MasterCard, Discover, AmEx. We had peaches in 2017 but froze out in
2018. We are planting about 300 new trees every year. (UPDATED: January 29,
2019) (ADDED:
July 16, 2016, Suggested by a visitor)
A visitor writes on July 16,
2016: "just read about this orchard in the Cowtown member\s newspaper
(July 2016). An old homestead of their ancestors was donated years ago. This
orchard was one of the first in Wichita; having been in existence since
1885! The orchard suffered a near fatal blow years ago when underground salt
water contaminated their water supply. They replanted their peach orchard in
2015(?), but a crop will not be ready until 2017. Other items have recovered
well and are available as they come in season. They also have a reBorn store
on premises. My knowledge of this orchard is very limited, so I would
encourage you to call and get additional information. I am planning a visit
next month when they will have watermelon and cantelope."
