I recently ran into my friendly neighbor, and owner of Oley Valley Organics, Barb. We talked about her yummy asparagus which will be sold once we start seeing the daffodils popping up. Her roadside stand will be full come spring.
This is also a wonderful spot for picking your own raspberries and strawberries. Her patch is unreal and you save lots of money compared to the roadside stand price. It is also more fun and I find they taste better when you actually pick them yourself! My son was more into eating them the last time we picked them. We picked enough pints to freeze throughout the summer for making smoothies.
A great tip barb gave me....Best way to freeze is to lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze the berries individually and then put them in a freezer bag so they don't stick together.
The only thing I want to warn you about his the mushroom soil they sell. It is not aged, so if you buy it, don't use it for the current season and ask them best tips on prepping it so it is organically certifiable.
Here is an article I included them in last year that sheds more light on their mission as well as the bread they make in their bake oven...the first photo you see includes some bread I made in a relative's bake oven.....if you ever have the chance to cook bread, pizza or pies in a bake oven, take it!!
