This coming weekend we will again be welcoming people to pick their own apples : ROYAL GALA Apples will be available. These are considered the sweetest of all apple varieties by many and is also currently the most popular apple variety worldwide. They definitely look pretty as well.
If you want the best selection of larger tree fruit you should plan to be here early on Saturday to “get the big ones”. If you wait until Sunday afternoon there is a good chance that our PYO block of Gala trees will be “picked out” due to the numbers of people expected. Gala are so popular we always sell out of them early every year in the store. Thank-you to all the very nice people who visited our farm this past weekend. Many families enjoyed the nice weather and filled bags with nice big juicy Macintosh apples.
