It is hard to believe that it is spring again! We hope that all of our customers enjoyed the mild winter weather.
We are very sad to say that we have suffered severe damage to all crops so far this year. At this time, we feel we would be extremely fortunate to even have 10-20% of a normal crop. The record-setting warm weather in March, followed by a few nights of below 0 degrees temperatures, have killed a significant portion of the fruit buds. There is a chance we will have no fruit at all for picking this year. We will have a better idea of the extent of the damage in a week or so - the fruit trees will drop their dead blossoms, and when this happens, we will be able to see if any fruit has survived. Once this information becomes available, we will post it on the website.
We will not be able to book any groups or buses for this year. If we do have fruit on the trees, it will be available on a first come, first served basis. We are expecting to have the property open and available for picnics and tractor rides and maybe, hopefully, a little fruit picking. We will have many customers asking us about other farms, but every farm in Ontario has suffered extreme crop loss. From apples to sweet cherries, pears to peaches, there will be a very limited supply of fresh fruit from Ontario this year. As farmers, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature, and she has not smiled favourably on us this year. We are hoping to see at least a little bit of fruit on our trees, but we already know, for sure, that at best it will be an extremely small crop. This will be our worst year in over 30 years - all we can do is hope for a better year next year!
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to e-mail us (imremraf@aol.com) or contact us at the farm (905-562-5481).
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
The Moyer Family
