The lack of rain hasn't hurt the crop at Mair's berry farm lo- cated south of Greenbank. Because of southern Onta- rio's irregular rainfall, Erich and Poldi Mair installed a drip irrigation system. "The raspberries are continu- ally being watered," said Reg Phillips who helps out at the berry operation. Mr. Phillips invited the Port Perry Star to the farm last week after reading an article in the newspaper which stated that the recent lack of rain may hurtlocal crops. "As you can see, that's not the case here," he said. Although the weather threat- - ened to turn bad, dozens of peo- ple were at the farm picking the large, bountiful fruit on Friday. The Mairs expect the season to last until the end of the month. At present, the Boyne variety is ready for picking. It will be followed by the Bonanza varie- ty in mid-season, and a late va- riety called Brandy Wine will end the year off. The Mairs have been in busi- ness for 25 years. They started their operation in Pickering, but were expropriated from their land. They moved their farm to the Till Sideroad loca- tion 15 years ago. During the strawberry and raspberry season, the farm is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. "The season is short, so we have to use the time we have," Mrs. Mair said.
