NEWLIN: Fruits and vegetables

Lewis Barnard shared the happy news that the produce market at Barnard's Orchard has reopened after its spring hiatus. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. (closed Sundays until August).
Lewis reported on July 16 that they've had an apricot harvest for the first time since 2015, and "the fruit size and eating quality is very good." He said the apricots would be available for a short time, though, because of the small crop.
Other crops available at the market are Methley Plums ("red-skinned with a red flesh and boy, do they taste good!"), white and yellow peaches ("This sunny dry weather has been great for the fruit to get a good flavor and sweetness"), Lodi apples for applesauce, sweet onions and green onions.
"New crops will appear as the ripening season progresses," he assures us!
The family-owned Barnard's Orchard is at 1079 Wawaset Rd. (Route 842) east of Unionville.
