Hello Grateful readers, I just got back from a long haul trip to and from Kentucky with Kenny (my partner) yesterday afternoon and the farm was absolutely stunning and full of new life as we pulled in. Huge shout out to my amazing parents and hard working team for holding down the fort while we were on a cross county mission to bring home an affordable gooseneck trailer for hauling fruit and cases of wine. The Hood River Valley is in full bloom( join us by heading south on hwy 35 towards Mt Hood) At MVO our blossoms start with our bright pink peach blossoms. Next our pear trees bloom. Soon after our apple trees.
Our New baby trees our ready to be planted this coming month. O’henry peaches, pluerries, pluots, rainier cherries, pie cherries and white nectarines.
I love springtime as a farmer and look forward to this time of year all winter long when our trees are dormant and asleep. For farming is a profession of hope and it is a really dreamy time to come visit our tasting room and farm. I love the seasonality of farming and warmly invite you all to come visit us at our Tasting room all year long. We do have some Bosc pears at 50cents a pound at our farm stand by apt only. We sell our beer, wine and cider to go as well so stop by and stock up for some warm sipping outside in the sunshine. Springtime in Parkdale is not to be missed and I hope to see you all here soon.
