Three more weeks – we will open for the 2024 season on Saturday August 31. Warm weather and plenty of water, but not too much, are helping the apples grow. More apples than we thought initially due to some losses from the late April frost.
First varieties ripe will be Zestars and Ginger Golds. Macintosh will be very tart on opening weekend. We make a dozen Zestar pies each year and freeze all but one of them to bake over the winter.
Plan to have donuts and cider on the weekends. Check out our new hats, T-shirts and sweatshirts with our Mad Tom Logo.
Look forward to seeing you.
