MetroMulberries is a microfarm run by Kevin Lynch, a science teacher and his two young sons. They offer same-day sale & delivery of hand-picked black mulberries (Morus nigra) from 22 espaliered trees. Most people know the "mulberry bush" of children's rhyme, but have no idea what a mulberry looks like, much less tastes like. And they taste heavenly! But they don't travel well for conventional market sale. We eat them fresh out of hand, stem & all. Pastry chefs will love using mulberries. Avail: May-Aug

In addition to several varieties of mulberries, Kevin will be offering Nanking cherries (Prunus tomentosa), elderberries, blackberrries, raspberries, serviceberries, apricots, figs, lemons, pears, tomatoes, pomegranates
