LARGEST APPLE CONTEST

We have been blown away at the size of some of the apples you all have found in our orchard! Some of them can get SO big! This has inspired us to come up with a fun activity for the orchard. A Largest Apple Contest!

It’s very simple, we have a scale at the entrance to the orchard, and whoever hauls in the heaviest apple will win THREE FREE BUCKETS OF APPLES! Our orchard attendant will weigh the apple for you and mark down the weight in our log along with your name and phone number or email.

The contest will go for three weeks and end on November 15th. This will leave two weeks left in the season for the winner to be able to come and claim their prize.

The apple has to be found in our orchard but can be any variety that is out there. We have found some monsters in all the different varieties so it should be interesting to see what variety the winning apple will be! Pictured below is what would be considered a Fuji apple on the larger size on the right, and on the left is a monster Fuji we found on Friday! It is the size of someones face!

Good luck to you all, and happy hunting!

Grannysmith and Gold Rush

Get your pie pans out! Grannysmith are now Ripe and Ready! These are the best for baking and are great for long term storing. We would love to see some of your pies, or how you use these great apples!

Goldrush are also Ripe and Ready! Goldrush are our best cider making apple. They are a sweet/tart apple with a lot of crunch and are also great for long term storing.

Pumpkins are still going strong! We have a lot ready to be picked up and carved!  Pumpkins are 30 cents per pound and flat 10 dollars after 40 pounds each.

The tomatoes are about done, but if you are good at ripening green tomatoes off the vine or have recipes that use green tomatoes, we have a lot! They are reduced to 50 cents per pound for the rest of the season.
