Richmond Nursery Raspberry Farm
As a complimentary crop to strawberries, we also grow raspberries. Unfortunately, raspberries can be rather costly to grow and are quite difficult to pick. Raspberries are also far more susceptible to weather conditions making crops vary from year to year.
In 2007, we will begin the processess of experimenting with a new way of planting and growing raspberries. Some new varieties were planted at the same field as the strawberries. We had our first sample harvest in 2008 with plenty of large berries - far larger than those in our older fields. Starting in 2009, all our raspberries will be harvested out of our berry farm location at the corner of Richmond Road and Fallowfield road.
