Retail Store, Apple Picking, Pumpkin Patch, and Christmas Trees
We will be open for apple sales starting Wednesday August 28
Apple Season has arrived unexpectedly early this year. We are scrambling to get our store and farm ready to receive visitors. We will post as soon we are ready to open for you…
We are Still Open for Pick your Own Apples, and there are tons and tons of them still on the trees waiting to be picked here! Come on out and enjoy the scenery of the farm , the beautiful fall colors, and the crispy, juicy, fresh tasty apples right off the trees. Pick your own apples is now offered daily here. Don’t miss out, plan for this weekend!
There are also still some Cortland (hard to imagine when they are so popular), Fuji (smaller ones , but they are there) and Ida Red apples (big shiny pretty looking fruit). You can still find the odd Northern Spy apple hiding out under the tree canopy in our Spy block. There are still a few Pink Lady apples out there, but very sparse and way high up in the tree- hard to reach without a ladder. We are always surprised when people come back from picking in the orchard and have a bag mixed full of Mutsus and Royal Galas- we thought they were all gone after Thanksgiving weekend. Its a bit of a treasure hunt for certain types of apples. Some people are done picking in 15 minutes and good to go with a nice bag of medium sized apples. Others spend much more time and look around hard for the great big sized fruit that are lurking way out back of our 50 acre farm and come back with Jumbo sized apples… To each his own!
It is now the height of Apple Picking Season here. There are lots and lots of crispy sweet apples to pick right off of our trees. Empire, Spartan, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Ida Red are in great abundance and easy to find in the orchard. There are still some Mutsu, Cortland, Northern Spy, Fuji ,Pink Lady, Jonagold, and some small Honeycrisp and Gala apples for those who search around and really know what to look for. Granny Smith, Ambrosia, Golden Russet, Gingergold, Paula Red, Tydeman Red, Orange Pippen, and Pears are pretty much all picked now. Whatever quantities of these other fruit varieties we have in storage, we are putting on display for sale in our country market store.
We are open for apple picking Saturday October 14 and Sunday October 15 from 10 to 5. Please arrive before 4pm to be admitted for apple picking.
We will be closed today for some much needed rest and a day of cleaning in the store and around the farm. Sorry for the inconvenience if you are travelling here from any distance. We will be open again on Wednesday, October 11 at 10:00 am….
