Picture of a coffee cake with a lovely tight and fine crumb, run through the middle with a horizontal ribbon of dark purple from the blueberry like service berries and a bit of streusel. On top of this tall masterpiece of yellow cakiness is more steusel.

No plums or apricots or pluots this year, but a good crop of cherries and a huge crop of service berries. Made service berry coffee cake and service berry jam, and the partner is steeping them in vodka to make an infused booze. They aren't super great just by the handful. #ServiceBerry #YardFood

Up close picture of three Royal Anne cherries hanging together, mostly orange and red though with a little yellow still, skin taut and shiny like waxed, amid long green spears of leaves against a blue sky.

Climbed the tree to get some cherries for tomorrow and picked a handful of fruit plus a wasp. Luckily, they are docile critters, probably just happy about eating cherries like I am, so I got nothing more than a buzzy talking to. #cherries #OregonFarmThing #oregon #yardfood

When you're English mate samples that good-good.

Been picking berries, and made my first batch of fresh strawberry jam of the year. So begins the long season of working a food mill and building up one giant arm. #strawberries #Oregon #OregonFarmThing #Jam #YardFood
