Storing apples and the Largest Apple Contest

The Largest Apple Contest is back! This year we will announce a new winner every Monday for 3 weeks starting on October 17th. The winner each week will receive TWO FREE BUCKETS OF U-PICK APPLES! The contest is judged by weight, so make sure to stop and have your Largest Apple recorded at the stand to be entered! 
This week we have added Fuji, Rome Beauty, and Granny Smith to the Ripe and Ready list!
Fuji are a crisp, sweet apple. When baked, it tastes as if the fall spices have already been added. Fuji is also a storing apple and can last for months when stored properly. Last year we sold out of Fuji within 5 days. Make sure to come soon if you were hoping for some this year!
Rome Beauty are a deep red colored apple that are simply beautiful. They are fantastic for baking whole. Core out the middle from the top of the apple, add some butter and sugar, and bake. Rome Beauty are also a storing apple. 
Granny Smith are the #1 pie apple. They are tart when eaten, but when baked their flavor develops perfectly. Granny Smith are also a storing apple. 
Tomatoes are doing great. We have an abundance of Roma's and slicers are being found too. We will have tomatoes available for u-pick until the first frost. With the weather we are having, that should mean several more weeks of tomato picking!
Pumpkins are doing fantastic as well and there is a huge variety to choose from still in the patch.
