Mad Tom Orchard

We are glad to have a good supply of apples for the upcoming weekend.  The recently opened Crimson Crisps and Empires are very good this year,   Golden Delicious and Northern Spy (in short supply) will be open on the weekend.  Still good Honeycrisps are there down the hill.  You pick drops for apple sauce available at half price.

DONUTS will be back for Saturday & Sunday.  Cider and Maple syrup are restocked.

We will be closed Monday October 14 as usual and then open thru the weekend of October 19 & 20.  LAST day will be Wednesday October 23.  Come help us wind up a very good season.

Photos show fog rising on a peaceful morning in front of the Taconic Mountains behind the orchard AND granddaughter Katie and her friend Paedar at the checkout station.

An excellent crop of Crimson Crisps and and Empires are now ripe and open for picking.  Honeycrisps, Cortlands, Galas and Macouns still have plenty of apples on the tree.  The crop of Macintosh on the 84 year old trees is the best in years.

Cider and syrup have been resupplied.  Donuts will be available again on Saturday and Sunday.

We plan to be open thru October 19 & 20 weekend and probably a couple of days the following week.

Come see us while the picking is good.

Thursdays welcome rain cleared the air and we have a lots of apples – good Honeycrisp out there plus nice Macouns, Cortlands and Galas.  The photo shows some beautiful Macintosh on the 84 year old trees that keep on giving us great crops.

Cider and Syrup are resupplied.  The donut crew are ready to go on both Saturday and Sunday – last weekend they made 3000 donuts.

Charlie the purple alligator will be out guarding the orchard on Sunday – he has been spending a lot of time around those beautiful old Macintosh trees – kids remember to be nice to him if you find him.

Lots of good apples plus donuts , cider and maple syrup.

Honeycrisp, Macintosh, Cortland, Macoun, Gala, Zestar, Ginger Gold and Blondee are out there in good supply.

Weather this weekend looks cooler and partly sunny – come see us while the picking is prime.

Photos show one of the “secret Honeycrisp” trees and a Macoun tree,  both at the bottom of the orchard – nicest crop of either that we have seen.  Worth the walk down the hill.

We are continuing  to see lots of familiar folks.  More people are realizing the season has started earlier this year – which is due to the much warmer weather.

Today we opened up the southern section of the orchard for picking of Honeycrisp, Cortland and Macoun.  Zestar, Ginger Gold, Macintosh and Gala are still in good supply.

Honeycrisp ripen in stages so pick the apples with good red and yellow color and leave the green ones to ripen later.

Cider and syrup are well stocked.  Donut kitchen will fire up on both Saturday and Sunday.  Check out hats and shirts with the Mad Tom logo.

Come see us for some good picking – photo shows some nice Honeycrisps
