Raspberry freeze - no Calderberry crop this year

By Tammy Calder

Well... we’ve got a small problem here. There will not be a raspberry crop this year. Due to an early frost/snowfall last October before the berry shoots had gone dormant, our patch has no raspberries. We are heart-broken but that’s life in agriculture.  

We’ve had bumper crops in the past so we will take this loss in stride. Next years growth looks really good. We are not speaking for the other berry growers in the valley - they can tell you their own story. But it was a valley-wide freeze. Sorry for the inconvenience - see you in 2022.
