Jujubees and New Plantings
These tiny blossoms in the fruit orchard belong to the Jujubee tree! Commonly coined as the “Texas Apple,” Jujubees are small fruits with a thin skin and crisp apple-like flesh, only a bit drier and sweeter. This is the first fruit load for these trees and will likely be a smaller harvest. However, Jujubee trees can grow to be about 50ft tall and bear a significant amount of fruit!
After a whopping harvest of over 30lbs of cucumbers from our new variety called “Diva,” we are excited to be planting more in our high tunnel this week! These cucumbers have a thin skin making them perfect for a summertime snack. Our favorite way to enjoy cucumbers on the farm is by including several slices in our water throughout the day – the perfect natural flavoring to encourage hydration on hot days!
Coming soon to the Grab-n-Go cooler are Cantaloupe and Korean melons! Stay tuned for updates as we wait for melons, zucchini, and a new variety of peppers to ripen. Be sure to stop by the Farm Stand this Saturday from 9am – 12pm to get your fill of summertime veggies and take home a beautiful flower bouquet!
