Fruit Update –
– We thank all who came to our you-pick fruit farm during
the 2008 season, and hope you had a most enjoyable experience. The farm will open on June 23 with
blackberries available at that time.
There will be no apricots this year as they were hit by three spring
frosts. The blueberries will be
plentiful, ripening by the second week in July. They should last well into August. Also by mid-July, there will be some
Shiro (yellow) plums. The apple
crop should be very good this year with Early Macs available in late July. There are several changes in pricing and hours of
operation. First after ten
years, it is necessary to increase the price on other fruit to 75¢ per pound
including peaches, apples and pears.
The price for blueberries will remain the same. The other change is that we will no
longer be open seven days a week.
The farm will be closed on Sunday and Monday and then open on the
following five days. If you have
any questions or comments, please call (757-442-7287) or email
<fosterjg@esva.net>.

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 2009
season. You will enjoy our beautiful
park-like surroundings on the shore while picking your favorite fruit. Please check out the local
accommodations link below, especially for the towns of Harborton,
Pungoteague, Exmore and Onancock that are close to our farm. For drinks or snacks, there is the
Village General Store in Pungoteague on 180W. The Harborton General Store just before Harborton at the
intersection of 180W and Hacksneck Road is now closed. The farm is accessible by small boat
(less then ~20 feet) via the Harborton launch site (call or check map and
tide schedule). Also, a fruit
horticulture link is provided for your reference as home fruit growers. |
