Fuji, Braeburn, and Rome Beauty

What an exciting morning we had as we tested our fall apples—and guess what? Three varieties are ready for you to enjoy! Fuji, Braeburn, and Rome Beauty are the first of our storage apples to ripen this season, and you won’t want to miss out!
Let’s start with the Fuji apple, a favorite known for its irresistibly sweet and crunchy flavor. These apples are incredibly versatile—perfect for snacking, baking, or making delicious applesauce. Plus, they’re the first storage apple of the year! When stored properly, they can last an impressive 3 to 6 months. Last year, we sold out in less than five days, so make sure you seize the opportunity to grab some Fuji while you can!
Next up is the Rome Beauty apple, with its gorgeous ruby red skin that’s as beautiful as it is tasty. These apples are perfect for baking whole and add a lovely touch to any pie. Not only do they taste fantastic, but they also store well, making them a great choice for your fall baking adventures.
And let’s not forget the Braeburn! This sweet and crunchy apple is a must-try for both eating fresh and baking. With its delightful flavor and great storage qualities, it’s a fantastic addition to your fall apple lineup.
We are sold out of Bartlett Pears for the season, but should have some Bosc in the coming weeks. 
The Pumpkin Patch is looking wonderful. Whether you’re looking for the perfect pumpkin for carving, decorating, or baking, we have a fantastic selection waiting for you.
Our pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes, from classic orange beauties to unique heirloom varieties. Picture your front porch adorned with a stunning, plump pumpkin or a whimsical display of smaller gourds—there's something for everyone! And don’t forget about the fun of picking your own right from the vine! 
Tomatoes and Peppers are still plentiful and ready for picking as well as our u-pick flowers.
Our sunflower maze is in its home stretch of blooming. Make sure to take a stroll through the maze before the blooms start falling.

Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, and Bartlett Pears

This week we have added Golden Delicious and Red Delicious to the Ripe and Ready list.
Golden Delicious are one of the most underrated apples. Some people assume they will be soft and mushy since they have experienced that with store bought Golden Delicious. However, fresh off the tree, Goldens are fantastic! They are sweet, crunchy and juicy. They are also rated the second best apple for apple pies. Second only to the Grannysmith.
Red delicious can sometimes get a bad wrap. But fresh off the tree, these apples are great!  Crunchy and mild in flavor, they make a great snack.
We are almost sold out of both Honeycrisp and Jonagold. If you were still wanting some of these, I would come pick soon!
We have our final picking of Bartlett Pears ready at the stand. We have both green and Red Bartletts available for we-pick.
Watermelons are still sweet and delicious, but this will most likely be our last weekend to purchase one.
Pumpkins are ready to be found in the pumpkin patch! We are so excited to see the exciting colors and shapes that are being found and brought to the stand. Gourds and squash are now ready as well. We have Butternut, Acorn, Spaghetti and Delicatta squash available.
Tomatoes are full and ready to be picked. Our vines are loaded with red, ripe tomatoes. No more worrying if we are picked out.
The sunflower maze is still in full bloom and should last another 1-2 weeks. If you haven't taken a walk through the maze yet, make sure to check it out. Beautiful flower bouquets created by Little Sunshine Flower Farm are also available at the stand Thursday through Sunday.
