April 2025 Update on What's Up & Ready for U-Picking

Writer: Susan TruscottSusan Truscott

The rains are abating and the sun is warming the soil and bringing back lush growth in the vegetable beds, vineyard, flower beds, and orchards at Cloverfield Organic Farm. We are turning on the orchard irrigation, mowing the tall cover crops, and crossing our fingers for bountiful fruit harvests into the summer and fall. Our garden beds are bursting now with items that may tempt you. We have our organic plant nursery well-stocked with potted grapes, elderberries, strawberries, rhubarb, asparagus, red currants, figs, and several different herbs and edible ornamentals.


Things to be u-picked in April include kales, mustards, chard, green onions, fenugreek, parsley, green garlic, garlic chives, fava beans, lemon balm, lettuce, cilantro, ginger, rhubarb, dandelion greens, beets, bay leaves, Makrut Thai lime leaves, Greek oregano, chamomile, absinthe wormwood, epazote, German thyme, asparagus, komatsuna, pak choy, mint (apple, chocolate, & strawberry), calendulas, borage, nettles, arugula, and fennel. Towards the end of April, and in the weeks ahead, we hope to have some ripe strawberries and elderberry blossoms.


We sell our dried herbs, a few seeds, raw honey, and extra-virgin organic olive oil in the farm shed.
