Greetings!

 

      Hi,

 

The weather this week continues to look nice with daytime temperatures in the 50s and sunny skies.  However by the weekend it looks colder.   This week will be our last week to be open.  Also, as we did last week, most of the time we will be on self-serve.  For those that use the Bridge Card or need any sort of help, you can call us at 231-652-2368 and we can make arrangements to be down at the stand to help you.  By the way, we will be closed on Thanksgiving Day but be open Friday and Saturday. 


We made a new video.  This one was taken during our last potato harvest for the season and is titled:  How We Harvest Potatoes  I think it is interesting.  I hope you do to.
 
We still have a good supply of winter squash, potatoes, rutabaga and sugar pumpkins and a fair supply of our own popcorn on the ear and shelled in jars. We also have natural decorations, such as gourds, small pumpkins and Indian corn.  In addition, we still have a few hardy pecan trees for sale, the grandparents of which came from southeast Wisconsin, which is the farthest north native pecan trees were found.

Specials On Bushels of Squash and half-bushels of Potatoes

We are selling all our squash, Acorn, Celebration, Butternut, Buttercup and Heart-Of-Gold for $10 a bushel (that's about 20 cents a pound) or 3 bushels for $25 (that's about 17 cents a pound)  Feel free to mix the types.  And we are selling our potatoes, Red, Kennebec and Yukon Gold for $10 a half bushel (that's about 34 cents a pound) or 3 half bushels for $25 (that's about 28 cents a pound).

Fishing Report For Pickerel and Kimbal Lakes:

The Northern Pike have slowed up some.  Surprisingly, the lake is still crystal clear.  Normally, when the water turns over, the lake's water gets a murky look to it. This happens when the surface water temperature reaches the mid to upper 30s . This means that the water temperature is uniform from bottom to top.  (Water is most dense at 38F and so the water temperature at the bottom of the lake is usually at this temperature.) Since no stratification takes place any water disturbance like wind or outboard motors can easily stir up the bottom.  I guess it hasn't been windy enough or enough outboard motors (except for fisherman and duck hunters) to stir up the water.

Nashle,

Tom
