New Produce Ready

The apricots have gone by now. We now have peaches, carrots, beets, Texas sweet 10-15 onions, summer squash, green beans, and corn. A few ripe tomatoes can sometimes be found. The okra and blackeyed peas are close to being ready to pick. Come and enjoy the fresh vegetables. The best time to pick is in the morning, since it gets hot in the afternoons.

The orchard to the south of the house (directly in front, by the road) has been grown using conventional methods. The orchard (except for the white peaches) to the west of the house and the vegetables have been grown primarily using the organic method.

Remember, if we are not at the farm, you are welcome to gather your own produce. Instructions are on the front porch.

Good Apricots

Oleo Farm has been blessed with the best apricot crop in years, both in quantity and quality. They are very sweet and juicy. For our customer's benefit we are now charging by the pound instead of by the peck.They are $2.50 per pound. Remember that the apricots will only last about a week more. Early peaches are also ripe and have a good peach taste. They are semi-cling.
