🍐 We have Shinseiki left! Stand-by walk-in sales tonight, 5:30–6:30 PM.

Good news! After filling all of this week’s pre-orders, we have some of our replacement-crop Shinseiki Asian pears remaining.

We’re opening Weymouth Farms tonight, Monday, September 14, from 5:30–6:30 PM for stand-by walk-in sales.

These are the same beautiful East Coast Shinseiki that Brenda and Paul traveled to the orchard to pick up last week. They were freshly harvested September 6 and are crisp, juicy and sweet.

No reservation or pre-order is needed tonight. Remaining pears will be sold to walk-in customers first come, first served, while supplies last.

And just as we promised, they are being offered at the same price as our own Shinseiki last year.

Tonight only: 5:30–6:30 PM
Weymouth Farms & Orchard
2398 Weymouth Rd., Hinckley

If you missed the pre-order, this is your chance to get some Shinseiki before this replacement crop is gone.

🍇 An experiment worth waiting for!

We began growing these grapes years ago as an experiment, when they were still known by their Cornell breeding number, NY98.0228.02. Before that, we grew Kyoho, the famous large Japanese table grape.

Today, that experimental grape has a name: Everest Seedless. Its fascinating pedigree combines the Japanese table grapes Kyoho and Pione with classic American varieties including Concord and Niagara, along with Cornell-developed grapes such as Himrod and Ontario. The result is an enormous, flavorful, blue seedless grape developed for our northeastern climate.

Unfortunately, our honeybees have also discovered how good they are—and they start sampling them before the grapes are even ripe!

As a sustainable fruit farm, we protect the crop by covering the vines with insect netting instead of spraying the bees. They’ll have to enjoy the millions of flowers elsewhere on the farm.

Like all our crops this year, quantities of Everest grapes will be limited. Keep posted about availability by signing up for updates on our website: www.weymouthfarms.com

Bees, keep out—for now! 🐝🚫🍇

A sincere thank you to Wolfe for bringing attention to the challenges Ohio farmers are facing as our climate and weather become increasingly unpredictable.

I was grateful for the opportunity to contribute to her .com cover story on how drought, flooding, late freezes, and other extreme weather events are forcing farmers to rethink how we grow food.

For those of us who farm, these aren't abstract discussions about climate. A few unusually warm days can bring a crop out of dormancy too early, and one cold night afterward can determine what we'll have to harvest months later. Excessive rain, drought, and increasingly unpredictable weather affect decisions we make throughout the growing season—and sometimes decisions about what we can realistically continue growing in Northeast Ohio.

At Weymouth Farms & Orchard, we've experienced those challenges firsthand, including this year's late freeze damage to our fruit crops. Like farmers everywhere, we keep adapting, experimenting, and learning.

Thank you, Paris, for taking the time to talk with farmers and tell this story. Agriculture doesn't always get much attention until something goes wrong, and thoughtful reporting like this helps people understand what goes into producing the food grown here in Ohio.
