"Traditionally, if you let the tulip bloom and die back, the bulb will pull energy from the dying flower and foliage back into the bulb and store it, to enable it to bloom next year. Since we use the tulips for cut flowers, we cut the life source, so the bulb doesn’t have much energy to pull back in. There is a slight chance that it will grow and bloom again next year, but it must be stored properly until it’s planted again. This involves it being chilled in a cooler for the year, until it’s time to plant. It may just produce foliage with no flower the first year, then the following year, it may bloom. It’s not guaranteed. This is why, since we grow for cut flower production, we purchase new bulbs every year and compost our spent bulbs." T.J. Silva Earthbound Farmstand grower

As our stonefruit ripens under the summer sun, it develops a soft, silvery coating known as bloom.⁠

This natural layer forms right on the fruit’s skin as it grows, acting like a protective barrier to help lock in moisture and shield it from the elements. It’s part of how the fruit cares for itself while it matures on the tree.⁠

A small, beautiful sign that your fruit came straight from the orchard—just as nature intended.

California peaches and nectarines have transitioned from clingstone to freestone which means they easily fall away from the pit. Grill up halves of peaches or nectarines for a salad or add a dollop of crème fraiche and enjoy. Now is the time to make a peach pie with beautiful slices of local stone fruit. Burkart Organics, Earl's Exclusive, is peaking on sweet and juicy white peach varieties- Summer Sweet and Glacier White.

Sweet California Cherries are in peak season!! Dwelley Family Farms now harvesting Tiogas and Hazels. The California season will go a little longer this year so make sure to take full advantage of the season before it transitions up to the Pacific Northwest late June.

Have you ever noticed when you buy a bag of cherries at the store they are typically all a uniform size? Cherry growers want to make sure the consumer is buying only the highest quality cherry so the cherries go through a machine before being packed to determine the size and quality of the cherry. Cherries have the same size pit regardless of the size of the cherry. The larger the cherry the more flesh on the fruit which demands a premium price.Swee
