We start the season with our fresh-picked asparagus, available usually beginning late April through most of June, picked early each morning, carefully weighed into new plastic bags each with one pound net weight of aspragus, refrigerated and sold directly to the public at Crows Nest Greenhouses and at the Blacksburg Farmers Market on Wed. and Sat. mornings, 8AM, usually sold out by 10 AM. In summer months from late June through early October, we have a succession of U-Pick berry crops: blueberries began June 23 and finished early this year, gone by late July. U-Pick blackberries are $2. per pint which includes containers, plus state and local tax. Blackberries began picking this summer on Thursday, July 19 and will continue through much of September.
