Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. With a heavy heart I write this post this morning. We have no peaches on our trees. We are devastated to find the trees basically stripped. We have no clue as to what happened but we have a few ideas.There are a few at the stand but they are not perfect. We are selling those for a $1 a pound. I believe there’s 5 pounds in the box. The stand is open and will be a self serve day.
Our peaches are done for the year, there will be some white peaches soon but no yellow ones. We thank all of you who bought them and by the grace of God will have a nice crop next year.
No words can express the emotions right now as I write this.
Make the best of what the day brings you. Remember to look at the glass half full instead of half empty and you will soar to a happier attitude. Have a great day!!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. That was a welcome rain last night! I was so happy I didn’t have to water any flowers.
On to garden news. We sold out of our second picking but the third is on its way. We are looking to pick Friday but will keep you posted about Friday. These will be our last of the yellow peaches and we will then go into our white peaches. These probably won’t be ready till September. We will be closed today as we have no produce for sale.
Have a great day!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. Sounds like we are in for another hot day. A telling sign is that some of our window’s are hard to look out of because there’s condensation on them. Once the sun rises above the tree line there’s no sign of water drops. Natures way of watering the earth without storm clouds.
On to garden news. Well that surprise attack of an early evening thunderstorm storm Friday night blew a lot of peaches to the ground. The ants had a delectable feast of bruised peaches. With that said we won’t have nice peaches today and due to the heat again today we won’t be open. Inventory has been done of. our peaches and they are smaller ones.Our white peaches are coming along and one of our trees has some nice sized peaches. They should be ready by Friday. I will post pics of the peaches on Thursday.I do have smaller peaches picked for anyone who would want them for canning or freezing. Please let me know as i don’t want them to go to waste.
Well that wraps up the garden news for this soon to be scorching Monday.
Strive to find goodness and blessings in all situations. The blessings are there seen with an open heart, mind and soul.
Have a great day!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. We do apologize for the confusion over what day we can sell our peaches again. You probably are thinking those ladies don’t have it together about the picking day. You are right!😂my sister told me and I looked at them today as well and yes it will be Friday that we will be picking. To tell you the truth we are contemplating not taking anymore orders as I miss orders and some people don’t show up to get their peaches and then we scramble to get rid of them as we don’t have the space to keep them cool. Any ideas out there to make life easier for all of us? I’ve included a picture of how they are looking and excited to get selling these.
We thank you for your patience, kindness when an order is overlooked and thankful that you buy our produce.
Have a great day!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. We weren’t expecting the little rain shower this morning but it was welcomed as it saved me some watering duties.

You won’t have much waste on these peaches. We also are selling tomatoes. It’s a self serve day as we are focusing on our peaches. We are taking orders for the peaches. They are $2 a pound.

Have a great day!!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. Buckle down the hatches later today. The forecast is for bad thunderstorms!! My grand daughter read to me the story of Galesburg’s St. Crescent. I had heard the tale that we are protected from tornadoes because he is here. Hope he continues to protect as our storms are getting worse!
On to garden news. We are open today. Self serve day. We have tomatoes, corn, some cucumbers and some zucchini. We will start taking peach orders on Monday. Please text your order to me, not here on our page or I might miss it. I’m trying to use one place for you to order so it will be less stressful for me. Also I ask you to please make arrangements for someone to pick them up on the day we call you if you can’t The peaches don’t keep long and we want you to have nice peaches.
Thank you and have a great weekend!!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. A beautiful, going to be oven hot day today but we’ve been here weather wise a lot this year. Our hostas once beautiful are showing brown where once shades of green tantalized our eyes. God created a beautiful palate of colors to paint his world so we could marvel at His creativity.
On to garden news. We are open today. It will be self serve. My sister gave me the day off so you might see other veggies not quite sure other than tomatoes. Would you believe we still have corn. We thought it was done but even matured it’s super sweet with large ears!! I’m sure everyone is corned out but we will make a good deal for freezing. Our peaches are looking better than the first picking. I’ve included pictures for this post to show you how nice they are. We will be selling them for $3 a pound. I love hummingbirds and I snapped some pictures of the one of two that come to eat. Our dear neighbors have a ton of hummingbirds. She told me she goes through 18 cups of sugar water a day. It’s such a beautiful sight to see them buzzing around the feeders. The humming of their wings is soothing and mesmerizing to all who visit their front porch!!
The day is calling me to get started with life on a Friday. May blessings and loving kindness blanket you today. Have a great day!

Greetings from Barefoot Pickers. It amazes me each morning that there’s so much dew on the ground. It brings back memories of early morning detasseling. What a job!!! Pay was only 1.40 an hour. My how time has changed!! Now they ride and detassel and are paid a lot more. To be young again,not the drama of school or peer pressures, but to be able to move and not hurt for days afterwards!!
On to garden news. There’s not much. Our tomatoes are coming on now with more ripening everyday. We are charging .50 a pound as one tomato can weigh a pound. It will be a self serve day as I’m over the moon happy as my daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter are coming for a few days!! Making memories is very important to me. I want to leave a legacy of love, kindness and a faith in God and in Christ. With that have a great day!!
