Thank you for visiting yesterday! It was wonderful to see so many new customers and so many familiar faces. Unfortunately our supply of fruit did not quite meet demand, mostly because some of our core varieties have already finished fruiting and other core varieties are not yet ready to pick.
Typically our mango season begins in late April with a few early-season varieties, peaks in late June and ends in late August/early September. 2013 has been a weird year. The weather this past winter confused many of our trees. Several varieties have been at least a month ahead of normal while others seem to be on a typical schedule.
Here's my best guess on availability of our mangos and other fruit...
