Open Tuesday, June 28... 1:30-2:30

Every day we pick more fruit.  Tomorrow's selection looks like it will be excellent.

We still have Glenn, Lemon Meringue, Dupuis Saigon and Pim Sane Mun... but there's not much left on those trees.

Most varieties from previous posts will be available.  Carrie supply is getting better. 

Bailey's Marvel, Cushman, Southern Blush and Duncan are just starting their seasons.
... and still MANY varieties to come!

Open Monday, June 27... Noon to 1:00

Mango varieties available will be essentially the same as for last Saturday.

New This Saturday!
Bags of Mangos will be available for sale outside of our front fence.
Most will be $10 and $20 per bag.  Varieties will include Glenn, Haden, Lemon Meringue, Pim Sane Mun and Tess Pollock.  Bags will be priced lower per pound than buying individual fruit.
...We hope that this Grab-and-Go Stand will help reduce the crowding in our regular sales area, and give customers a way to get mangos quickly...

Also this Saturday...
We will have a Fruit-Picking Tour starting at Noon.  Cost for this tour will be $5 per person (adults and children) plus the price of the fruit you pick.  Please remember that fruit-picking  can be messy and it will be hot.  Please dress appropriately and bring water for yourself.

The Care and Keeping of Mangos

A few quick reminders....

  • Please do not store mangos in plastic bags.
  • Ripen mangos in paper bags or on your countertop.  Warmer temperatures cause mangos to ripen more quickly, so putting your fruit on your porch will cause it to ripen more quickly than it would in air conditioning.
  • Treat Mangos like Bananas... Do Not Refrigerate!  Cold Temperatures alter the taste and texture of the fruit.  Freezing excess ripe fruit is better than refrigerating it.
