Alyssa found the wooden apple Friday to win an iPod and she gets to keep the apple. !!

Lots of good fruit still out there – come early when it is cooler.  Cider and donuts today and tomorrow.

There are good Honeycrisp – especially if you go farther down the hill.  Plenty of MacIntosh, Cortland, Gala, Macoun and Fuji as well.

Cooler today – still best to come early, especially on the weekend.  Cider and donuts on Saturday and Sunday.

It looks like a warm week coming up, so come early when it is cooler.  Picking for all the mid season varieties is excellent this week.  Honeycrisp will be plentiful thru the  coming weekend and we hope they will still be available next weekend as well.  Fruit this week will be more plentiful than later in the season.

The wooden apple is still waiting to be found – win an IPod.  There is plenty of cold cider.  Donuts will be back on Saturday and Sunday.

Lots of good Honeycrisp.  Donuts Saturday & Sunday.  More new cider.

The wooden  apple is out in the orchard.  Find it and win an iPod

Sylvia has made an orchard map to help you find where the varieties are located – mounted on the water tank

We will open Honeycrisp, Cortland, Macoun and  Fuji for picking on Friday Sept 15.  There are plenty of good McIntosh and Gala as well.   The photo shows nice looking Honeycrisp on trees we planted in 2014 – they are off to a good start.

Honeycrisp unlike most apples ripens in stages, so pickers need to choose the reddest apples and leave the others to ripen next week or the week after.  In commercial orchards the Honeycrisp trees are picked three times .

The crop this year (including Honeycrisp) is a good one and we need your help to get it picked.   There will be cider and donuts on Saturday & Sunday – donuts run out, so come early.
