PRODUCE STAND AT HONEY BEAR CLOSING FOR SEASON

Freezing temperatures (25 to 27 degrees) October 10-13 killed most of our producing vegetable plants.  We are almost out of organic fruit due to their short supply  due to last Spring's late freeze.  Goodness Orchard will close it's market at Honey Bear Ranch for the season following Sunday, October 26.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE ORDERS ON LINE AND TELEPHONE FOR THOSE ITEMS STILL ON OUR SHOPPING LIST. 

 Orders can be picked up at our farm or at a location agreed upon. 

 

 

 

 We thank you for your patronage and friendship.
