| Raspberries |
| In 2013, the raspberry patch was infested with an insect new to Minnesota called Spotted Wing Drosophila or SWD for short. We had to close the patch while we worked on methods to manage this new pest & continue to raise raspberries. The 2014 season is still in question - we are monitoring for SWD and haven't spotted them at our farm yet (they have been found elsewhere in the state), but there won't be enough raspberries to open for pick-your-own. This year's crop of raspberries, if they stay SWD free, will go to Farmers' Markets. Thank you for your interest, your business, and your understanding. |
