Pink Lady is Ready!

It is not even middle of October quite yet....but the Pink Lady are ready!  Definitely a crazy year!  Pink Lady beat the Braeburn and Gold Rush to ripening which never happens!

Pink Lady are a great all-around apple. Tart-sweet flavor with firm crunch.  Our best keeping apple.  Great for baking, applesauce, and I really like it for drying.

Other Apple Variety Availability:

Fuji:  Lots and lots available.

Rome: 1/2 row left and the trees are loaded.

Granny Smith:  Lots and lots available.

Golden Delicious:  Lots and lots available.  SO good right now.

Red Delicious:  Lots and lots available.  Ask us to show you where they are.

Jonagold:  1/4 of a row left of each.  Such good flavor right now but they won't store a long time since they have been hanging quite awhile. 

Melrose:  May be gone by the end of today, but please ask because we do have a tree that is off by itself that we can take you too.

Apple Festival is tomorrow!!

Rain or Shine, we will be celebrating apple harvest tomorrow! (Oct 10, 10am to 2pm)

We have a big tent set up that will hold most of the activities.  

Come from 10am to 2pm for all the fun activities.  There will be apple and applesauce tasting, Gator rides, scavenger hunt, apple crafts for the kids (or adults if you'd like!), farm equipment to climb into and of course apple picking!  All events are free.  U-pick apples are $10 per 5 gallon bucket (25# per bucket). 

Gator rides, and scavenger hunt will be the only activities not covered with the tent so come dressed prepared for those.   Consider it an adventure!! 

Will look forward to spending a fun day with you all!

Fuji apples are Ready!

Fujis are finally ready!  Our trees are loaded with them so come and enjoy!

Fujis are a well-loved, sweet eating apples.  They are also great for applesauce and salads, and good for pies. 

 

Apples so nice looking packed in boxes.  Rome and Jonagold apples.

 

Other apple variety availability:

Jonagold:  6 rows left with 1/4 of each row left to pick.  Still a large amount hanging out there.  They won't last long if you want to store them because they are getting ripe, but you can't beat the flavor right now! Still yummy for eating, baking and applesauce.

Golden Delicious:  These are amazing right off the tree compared to the store.  Lots and lots of these left. 

Red Delicious:  A very large amount still available in the front, older section of the orchard.  Please ask and we will help you find them.

Melrose:  About 5 large trees left to pick in the older part of the orchard.  We marked these trees with hot pink ribbon.  Let us help you find them!

Granny Smith:  Just started picking these so a ton left.  Good storage apple.

Rome:  Just started picking these, also a ton left.  Just gorgeous.  Great storage apple.

Always great to see these ladies!  They have such passion for their apples.  Thank you!
