Dale Graff Produce for this week.

Deer Island Farms
 

Hi,

Bluecrop blueberries are new on the list this week.  Supplies are limited so order early for best chances.

Cherry update.  There continues to be unseasonable rain in the Yakima Valley and it is up in the air as to whether the rest of the crop will be ruined before I can get another load.  Go ahead and place orders for cherries but I may need to cancel them if the quality is poor.

Unless noted as "new crop," items below are from the 2012 harvest.  

Beaverton - Make Note.  Home Depot asked that I not make deliveries there any more.  The new delivery location is the parking lot of Michael's Arts and Crafts on Western - just south of Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy.
  
Order deadline will be 5:00 Wednesday, June 26.

Thanks,
Dale Graff

To hedge my bet on being able to provide these this week, I have arrangements with 2 growers that are 30 miles apart.  One packages in the 10 and 20 lb. boxes.  The other packages in 15 lb. boxes.  If you order these, I may need to make last minute substitutions.  Please indicate when you order if you are not ok with a substitution.
 
I only have one source for the organic cherries so if they get rained out, there are no alternatives.
