"The second we walk in, we see the fruits and vegetables," Meisha said.

"It's our own corn, our own blackberries," said co-owner Patti Mood. "We also grow peaches."

"I see a lot of blueberry syrup, blueberry jam, blueberry cider," Meisha said.

"Yep. These are made with our own blueberries," Patti said.

Another area is devoted to jellies and honey. The jarred honey and walnuts is "great for ice cream," Patti said.

"I'm looking up here, and I'm seeing a lot of recipes," Meisha said. "My eyes go to two things right away: Peach pizza, because I'm in love with pizza. And blackberries: 'Buy them a lot of them now!'"

"These are ideas for you to make with the fruit that we have," Patti said.

Now that we're in August, the Concord grapes are ripe and ready to pick.

"It's really fun, and at the end, we all get probably an apple or two," said one young visitor, Susie Rosado.
