Hi again everybody! We have been busy working hard on the farm to produce another crop of fresh tasty apples. Its been a very hot and extremely dry summer, making the growing conditions tough. There is actually a very large crop of apples overall and we are now finally seeing that the much needed recent rainfall will help to size up the fruit. We are planning to open our store this week (Tuesday, August 23) The first major apple variety we will be offering is Paula Red. There are so many of them this year! If you want to get some healthy, local, fresh picked apples to feed your family on a budget then we can definitely help you out. Please note that we do not open the orchard for pick your own apples right away- we will be posting details about the pick your own schedule in the days to come. Later on in September and October we will allow visitors into the orchard to pick from absolutely massively laden trees like Empire and Golden Delicious. Hope to see you here again soon!

Christmas Tree Time – It’s On
Here is a shot of some of our trees taken earlier this year. The field certainly does not look like this now; the green grass has gone and is now covered with a thin blanket of snow. The trees are waiting for a home to be adopted into and help your family celebrate the magic of Christmas. Hope to see you here this weekend! Bring a saw if you have one this weekend because it looks like its going to be a real busy one at the farm…
