I spy with my little eye something that is…RED!
We are on our way to picking our first batch of raspberries produced through the Long Cane Raspberry Pilot Program, and couldn’t be more excited! This batch of canes was planted early April, giving us quite the jumpstart on the season. Our high tunnels have resulted in significantly more growing degree hours compared to a field system, which reduces the length of time from planting to harvest!
