We can't be in Baja, but there MAY be some things better.
I can't choose whether it is my cherry crop, or the raspberries.

The cherries are all organic, no spray, no worms, and irrigated exclusively with Dannon water!
We picked for parts of several days on one tree before getting on a ladder. What a wonderful summer in Northern California. We'll have lots of
frozen treats for Baja in the fall.

Well the pitayhas are our crop de jour....
You know the cactus fruit that the indios ate and ate again.
They just had the Pitayha festival in Miraflores. Didnt make it this year but a friend is bringing me some pitayha marmelada. Terry at Ignacio
Springs B&B makes a good one too.

Ditto here.
Best crop of raspberries in our little patch I've seen in years. Also great blueberries already ripe in the valley. Blackberries will be awesome if
the rains don't return soon.

Judy, can you tell us some of the ways they prepare and serve the sweet fruit? Thanks. |

Boy oh boy
I do miss fresh boysenberries, blueberries, rasberries and Rainer cherries.
Oh well, I guess I just have to put up with blue skies, fair winds and waves.

Yeah Sharks...
I've never seen so many green blackberries. Our chances of rain will be less than yours, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

We have some old raspberry plants up here in Montana. If I knew how to post a photo I could let you all laugh at the look of our berries. They are
small and lumpy, but they taste better than any others I've eaten.
The Flathead cherries are beautiful this year, as are the rainiers grown up here. I buy them in Arlee from a family from Michoacan when I drive to
Missoula. They have an old fridge in their yard, and sell them fresh picked, washed and chilled, and always include napkins and a bag for the pits.
Four summers back they spoke no English, and now the teenagers speak perfectly.
But someday I'm gonna spend the whole summer in Loreto, just to taste the pithaya.

Paula, we LOVE those Flathead cherries! They are the best cherries in the world. I've spent many years in Montana. My folks were born there
(Anaconda), my sister is still there and many relatives. But it's even hot THERE this summer!!! That's where we USED to go to get out of the heat of
Sacramento!

Actually we also flush our toilets with Dannon water.
As with all the small towns in South Siskiyou County, we have sold our soul to a big corporation. (McCloud is still fighting with Nestle.) In the case
of Mt. Shasta City it was Coca Cola (Dannon Water). They pull the water for their plastic bottles from the same source as our un-metered, un-treated,
City water. Dannon put in a couple of wells, ours still comes from the spring most of the year.
Many in the area are fighting a move to publicize the fact that our City water has been judged the best in the state.
It is also so cold coming from the tap that it hurts your teeth!

Sharksbaja, I don't know what you call it but it looks like what we call golden raspberries.

DON'T DO IT!!! Your town will explode! Instead, talk about crime and cost of living there. The town will grow slower.
Bajabound.. we call these wild berries Salmonberries. Some are delicious while others are to sour to eat. Even when ripe.
