MORE GOOD APPLES

Another very good weekend – many happy customers – they picked lots of apples, ate 1500 donuts and cleaned out our cider.

We  have resupplied our cider from Dutton’s – there will be donuts on Saturday and Sunday.  A lot of good fruit was picked, but there are still good McIntosh, Cortland, Gala and Macoun out there.

There is a good crop of Empires that we will start  by the weekend.  The photo shows some Monarch butterflies enjoying the New England Asters in the meadow.  Come during the week for a peaceful orchard – come on the weekend for donuts and excited laughter.  We may run out of donuts by mid afternoon on a very busy day.

LOTS OF APPLES STILL AVAILABLE

We are gearing up for another weekend – our daughter Laura has come up from North Carolina to help out.  There are plenty of McIntosh, Cortland, Gala and Macoun.  Honeycrisp are picked out.

Cider is back in stock.  The donut crew is ready to fire up on Saturday & Sunday.  The wooden apple is out in the orchard waiting to be found to win the IPad.

It is a rainy afternoon today – weather forecast is sunny for Friday, Saturday morning and Sunday.  Come help us bring in the harvest.

Photos shows some beautiful Galas and the wooden apple!!

 

 

Good supply of McIntosh, Cortland, Gala, and Macoun

Very busy weekend with beautiful weather  – saw lots of familiar faces.  Most of the Honeycrisps were picked – there are still good McIntosh, Cortland, Gala, and Macoun – the few remaining Honeycrisps are  well down the hill and will probably be picked out before the weekend.

The donut crew made 1300 donuts total on the weekend and sold them all.  They say firmly that donuts are only available on Saturday and Sunday (1 1/2 hour clean up).  People who buy donuts buy a lot of cider – we ran out Sunday afternoon, but are now resupplied.

The wooden apple is still out in the orchard waiting to be found – finder gets an IPad mini 4.

Come see us during the week and enjoy a peaceful orchard without the crowd or come for apples (and donuts) on the weekend.!!!

BIG WEEKEND FOR APPLE PICKING

Saturday we will open up picking for Honeycrisp, Cortland, Macoun, Fuji, and Blondee. Cortland and Macoun have a nice crop – Fuji is limited and there is a small crop on our young Blondee trees.

There continue to be good Mcintosh and Gala.  Zestar, Ginger Gold and Sansa are picked out.  The Honeycrisp crop is only moderate this year, so we will hold to the Saturday start to be fair to everyone who  waited for them to get ripe

There will be more cider and Mad Tom donuts (Saturday & Sunday only)  – the donut making crew is perfecting the process.

The wooden apple will be out in the orchard by Saturday morning – the finder will win an iPad mini 4.

The photos show a young Honeycrisp tree with some ripe fruit and the wooden apple – go find some nice apples and the wooden one!!


 

 

 

 

 

GREAT WEEK FOR APPLE PICKING

We had a very good weekend – lots of happy customers – they picked out the remaining Zestars, Sansas and Ginger Golds.

There are good Gala and McIntosh this week.  Saturday Sept 21 we will start Honeycrisp and Cortland – possibly Macoun and Fuji.

To make it fair for everyone, we will not start Honeycrisp before Saturday, even if your Grandmother has a toothache. The Honeycrisp crop is less than last year, but it should last until the 28’th, unless we get extremely large turnout this coming weekend.

Picture shows some very nice Galas – Macs are plentiful too.
