2012 will go down as the year that raspberry growers wish didn’t happen. It was a difficult year for the raspberry growers because of the cold wet spring and the untimely heavy rains in early Summer. All of these cold, wet days put a damper on the quality and yield of the raspberry crop. It was raining during pollination, it was raining during the first harvest, and then it rained again during peak harvest.
However, there were enough sunny warm days throughout the season, with that a great raspberry crop was harvested. It is during a year like this that our growers are most appreciative of our supporters and customers. A great shout out for all who supported our local raspberry growers. Thank you for buying local raspberries. We at the Raspberry Industry Development Council (RIDC) wish you a great Winter and successful 2013. See you next year!
