Fruit Update –
– The farm is now open.
There are limited amounts of blackberries ripening daily. The apricots are about gone with the
heavy picking over the last week.
It looks like another great year for the blueberries. The blueberries are available for
picking now. The crops of
peaches, Asian pears and European (Damson and Green Gage) plums should be
good relative to past years.
Please do not pick the peaches, pears, plums or apples until the ready
signs are posted. The apple crop
will be down somewhat compared to the record crop of last year. The Damson
and Green Gage plum crops will be about average, except that the Shiro
(yellow) and Santa Rosa (red) plums will be scare. If you have any questions or comments, please call
(757-442-7287) or email <fosterjg@esva.net>. (7/5/08) |

General -- Our Mason Beach Fruit
Farm is located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia adjacent to Chesapeake Bay
waters being situated on Butcher Creek. Plan to visit us during the 2008 season. You will enjoy our beautiful
park-like surroundings on the shore while picking your favorite fruit. For visitors to the shore, please
check out the local accommodation link below, especially for the towns of
Harborton, Pungoteague, Exmore and Onancock that are close to our farm. Also, there is the Bear and Cub
Coffee Shoppe (see eating link) in Pungoteague for a taste of local roasted
coffee and fresh pastries. For
other drinks or snacks, there are two general stores on your way to the farm
– the Village General Store in Pungoteague on 180W and the Harborton
General Store just before Harborton at the intersection of 180W and Hacksneck
Road. The farm is accessible by
small boat (< 20 feet in length) via the Harborton launch site (call or
check a map and tide schedule).
Also, a fruit horticulture link is provided for your reference as home
fruit growers. |
