So I hope everyone had a great long weekend, today we worked on trying to get control of the weeds in the garden.......... sheesh...
If there are any people out there that are looking for a rest of the summer job let me know, we could definately use the help.

I have received a comment from a couple about their disappointment with our strawberry festival and the lack of strawberries that we had available to pick. We really do our best with planning and organizing to try and ensure that everyone coming to Kayben has a great experience and I am truly sorry that this couple or any one had to be told that we were sold out and that they were not able to pick on Saturday. The fact is, even if we had 10 acres of strawberries that were in their 2nd or third year of production, with the amount of people we had on Saturday morning we still might not have had enough. At 9 am on Saturday we had people lining up at the gate, and by 10 am I would guess that there were 75 to 100 cars waiting.
If there are any kids that were not able to pick on Saturday because we were sold out by the time you arrived please let me know and perhaps what I need to do is have a pick strawberries with Farmer Jim morning.

What a nice day!!!
Today we had a few people out maybe 25 or so, to pick strawberries but not nearly enough. We have a lot to pick and are going to be picking tomorrow and Saturday, hope to see you out.
