Highland
Orchards Farm Market - 1431 Foulk Rd.,
Wilmington, DE 19803. 302-478-4042. In early May, rhubarb
and asparagus are ready to cut. Soon, in late May, red
strawberries ripen as the first fruit of the land. The
summer harvest is on in late June as cherries ripen, and red
raspberries and blueberries are ready for picking. As the
peaches form on the trees in thick clumps, they must be
thinned to allow room for proper growth. Meanwhile,
tomatoes, sweet corn and other vegetablesc are ready for
picking. When the peaches are ripe - soon to be followed by
nectarines, pears, plums, fall raspberries and finally
apples, the packing house operation begins, and many
relatives and neighbors work to grade and pack the thousands
of bushels of bountiful harvest. With apple season, the
cider mill goes into operation, pressing sweet juice from
quality fruit. Even after the harvest, there is still work
to be done: gift baskets made, trees to be pruned or
planted, equipment to be winterized, firewood cut,
organizing ourselves for the next season. Harvest Market Natural
