Greetings from Barefoot pickers. I’m sitting here wondering if I’m into my passion this year. I have loved gardening since I can remember. I’ve seen many changes over the years in gardening. These last few years have really tested us. We started out in our adventure healthy and looking to sell quality fruits and vegetables. However our bodies couldn’t keep up with our minds telling us to push thru. My right hand has been in the hospital with pneumonia and is now in a bounce back. I ‘m guessing she will be there a couple of weeks.
We picked a lot yesterday and won’t pick again until Thursday. I will post again tonight to let you know what we have. The late frost got a lot of our blossoms this spring so we are down on the number of peaches. We will fill as many orders as we can and will let you know if we can take anymore.
To the question of spraying. We spray dominant spray in the fall and winter and if we see signs of the peach borer we spray with an insecticide. With this humid weather we at times have to spray with a fungicide. If we didn’t( I don’t like chemicals) we would have no peaches.
We regret that we can’t serve you like we once did, but we will continue to offer you the best of what we do grow.
Please pass your kindness and love around. It helps more than you know in this desensitized world
Have a great day!!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. I apologize for not answering messages or posting here. It’s been a very concerning time for my family and I have been a little preoccupied.
The peaches are looking good. We won’t have as much as last year but a least we will have some. The c***s are now a problem as they are in the trees and I’m finding seeds and half eaten peaches on the ground. We have fencing around each tree but these critters can figure everything out that we try to do to protect the peaches. The one sure solution is to poison them but really don’t like that type of solution.
The peaches should be ripe enough for sale in about 2-3 weeks. I will post at that time and will also post the price.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers Produce. It has been quite awhile since I have looked at our page!It is finally Spring! Oh how I love the smells of spring the lilacs,the smell of the earth after a rain and watching the naked tress put on their new greenery. Beautiful sights that bless us in so many ways.
In the last couple of years we have been slowing down as our bodies can’t keep up with what our brains want to do. This year will be the slimmest produce year yet. I need surgery so I won’t be able to grow produce to sell to our dear customers. We will have peaches,God willing and sweet corn. Hopefully next year we can plant as much as we have planted in the past.
We thank you for always supporting us, we really appreciate you. We will be letting you know when the peaches are ripe as well as the sweet corn.
Thank you for your support and friendship.

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. With a heavy heart I write this post this morning. We have no peaches on our trees. We are devastated to find the trees basically stripped. We have no clue as to what happened but we have a few ideas.There are a few at the stand but they are not perfect. We are selling those for a $1 a pound. I believe there’s 5 pounds in the box. The stand is open and will be a self serve day.
Our peaches are done for the year, there will be some white peaches soon but no yellow ones. We thank all of you who bought them and by the grace of God will have a nice crop next year.
No words can express the emotions right now as I write this.
Make the best of what the day brings you. Remember to look at the glass half full instead of half empty and you will soar to a happier attitude. Have a great day!!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. That was a welcome rain last night! I was so happy I didn’t have to water any flowers.
On to garden news. We sold out of our second picking but the third is on its way. We are looking to pick Friday but will keep you posted about Friday. These will be our last of the yellow peaches and we will then go into our white peaches. These probably won’t be ready till September. We will be closed today as we have no produce for sale.
Have a great day!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. Sounds like we are in for another hot day. A telling sign is that some of our window’s are hard to look out of because there’s condensation on them. Once the sun rises above the tree line there’s no sign of water drops. Natures way of watering the earth without storm clouds.
On to garden news. Well that surprise attack of an early evening thunderstorm storm Friday night blew a lot of peaches to the ground. The ants had a delectable feast of bruised peaches. With that said we won’t have nice peaches today and due to the heat again today we won’t be open. Inventory has been done of. our peaches and they are smaller ones.Our white peaches are coming along and one of our trees has some nice sized peaches. They should be ready by Friday. I will post pics of the peaches on Thursday.I do have smaller peaches picked for anyone who would want them for canning or freezing. Please let me know as i don’t want them to go to waste.
Well that wraps up the garden news for this soon to be scorching Monday.
Strive to find goodness and blessings in all situations. The blessings are there seen with an open heart, mind and soul.
Have a great day!
