Tulameen Raspberries started 3 weeks earlier than last year.  The quality was good and our fresh packs has sold very well. 
Then came the Hail Storm the like of which I have never seen before.
The Octavia raspberry  was hit just days before we were going to cover the crop with plastic.  This caused a lot of damage to the berries and a large amount had to go for freezing.

Our Carmel Blackberries were also affected by the hail.

One field of Rhubarb was so decimated we could not harvest.
