Lychee Season Light This Year
June 3, 2025
Lychee season is going to be a little smaller than expected. They are not getting ready all at once so we will be scheduling pickups right away. Shipping is available but also limited. We may be able to add more fruit to ship next week if we can find some extra fruit hiding out there.
Ripe Mango and Trees Update
May 27, 2025
Mango, avocado and some other tropical fruit trees will be available when the Farm Stand opens for ripe mango season. The Farm Stand will open as soon as the mangos get ripe. The exact date will depend on the weather but we are looking at mid to late June for the early varieties.
Family Update
Many of you are aware that we have been stretched thin the past couple years. In short, we are on the mend. Many thanks for your prayers and well wishes. We expect everyone to be even better next year.
Brendan, our 5th generation farmer, and Krista’s son is our youngest family member. He has one more semester to complete his bachelor’s degree in business. This summer he’ll be managing the Farm Stand. He also helps out with a lot of the mowing and spraying and shadowing Grandpa with special projects.
Kim is still managing the shipping and marketing as well as attempting to juggle anything else that needs to be done. She is very much looking forward to a vacation with her husband this fall.
Dale had a bad case pneumonia back in 2022. He ended up in the hospital and caught COVID then had supplemental oxygen for months. Finally, he is back to full lung function. During that whole process he was battling Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although he is still undergoing treatment, he is currently in remission and back to working almost full-time. His happy place is in the grove and he does his best to stay out there as much as possible.
Krista and Jesse have undergone the most dramatic trial. Almost 3 years ago Jesse had an accident at the beach and broke his neck. His spinal cord was 
compressed and immediately after the accident he was a quadriplegic. He works so hard in rehab and continues to slowly but steadily progress. His hand strength is excellent and he continues to work on fine motor control. Core strength has improved dramatically over the last year. He is able to hold himself upright in most seats and is delighted to be able to operate the zero-turn mower again.
Jesse’s hip flexors have started to fire and his knees sometimes fire. He is able to do assisted standing for 5 minutes so far. We can’t wait to see what else he is able to accomplish this year! In addition to being Jesse’s caregiver, Krista has been able to help out part-time over the winter and will be full-time this summer.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
