2009 Blackberry Festival is Cancelled

Unfortunately due to conflicting time commitments and schedules, we were not able to host a Blackberry Festival this year. We look forward to resuming this tradition next summer.

In the meantime, your assistance is needed to preserve large amounts of garden fresh fruit that is being donated to our initiatives. Thanks to local residents and participants, we have made vanilla-scented fig preserves and wild blackberry-Asian pear jam. Coming soon: plum preserves, pear jam, canned tomatoes, applesauce, and more!
