Growing Conditions

The 2022 growing season started with a cold January,
that turned into a typical, average Spring for the Finger
Lakes. Spring and early Summer were warm and dry,
almost drought conditions, with conditions changing to
warm and wet by mid-August. September saw a bit more
moisture and cooler temperatures, but disease pressure
was low and fruit quality was high going into the month.
An early harvest, although light, brought in ripe, clean,
delicious fruit.
