Cripps Pink apple

Cripps Pink are a tangy tart-sweet apple.  Great for eating, baking, drying, applesauce and the BEST for keeping for storing.  It seems to last the longest out of all the varieties.  And we thinned well this year so the apples are a great size this year!  We actually have a brand new row of these available now too….so 2 rows total!

Braeburn apple

Braeburn are a sweet-tart apple that is great for eating, baking, and applesauce.  Also a great keeper in storage. 

Fuji apples.

Fuji are sweet apple that is a favorite for eating.  Also a great all around apple for baking, applesauce and a good keeper.

Gold Rush apple

Gold Rush are a tart apple with a zing which many people really look forward to!  Great storage apple and great also for baking, applesauce and drying.  Some people love using this apple for cider.

Granny Smith apple

Granny Smith are everyone’s favorite baking apple for pies and if you like tart things, then this is our tartest apple.  It is also a great storage apple.

We also have tons of pumpkins available still!  Kid size, large and medium carving pumpkins, small and very large white pumpkins!  We also have some small round pumpkins especially good for using for your baking needs.  We have some pre-picked but we also have a real deal pumpkin patch you can pick from!

Pumpkins, Red Delicious and Rome Apples, and Bosc and D'Anjou Pears Available New!

It’s pumpkin time! (How is it almost October?!) We have carving pumpkins, large and small white pumpkins, and some pumpkins especially for baking. Come check out our patch or buy already picked.

We also have Red Delicious and Rome apples that are ready to pick!

Red Delicious are a well-known eating apple. Mild, crunchy flavor. Much crunchier off the tree than you’ve experienced from a store or restaurant.

Rome are a great baking apple. Mild tart flavor but flavor increases when cooked. Keeps it’s shape well. Not the best just for eating but some do like it for that. Very pretty red apple.

We also have: Jonagold, Melrose, Ruby Jon, some Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Jonathon and some Gala. Ruby Mac and Liberty are done.

We usually have apples until the end of November! The winter apples like Fuji, Braeburn, Gold Rush and Cripps Pink are coming up next month sometime.

We also have a limited amount of Bosc pears and D’Anjou pears. $9/small bucket.

Tomatoes still available for picking too!

Some educating here because I learned this last year! The San Marzano tomato on the left was picked on Sept 18th with a little orange/green color. I sent it out on the counter for 6 days at room temperature and it ripened deliciously. I think this is pretty cool. This is something you can do if the rain or freeze is coming to salvage lots of tomatoes. Or if you have time to pick early in the week but only have time to process or use them on the weekend, then you can do this too. Tomatoes are so cool!

Golden Delicious, Melrose, Liberty and Jonathon Apples are Ready!

Golden Delicious, Melrose, Liberty and Jonathon apples are all ready now!

Golden Delicious are a delicious eating apple. Sweet and mild with a great crunch. Excellent for eating, great for pies because they keep their shape and good for applesauce.

Melrose are a sweet, very slight tart tasting apple. Excellent for baking and excellent for cooking whole because it keeps it shape well. Great for applesauce and eating. Pretty good storing apple for a mid season apple. Flavor develops even more in storage and after cooking. Such a beautiful apple.

Liberty are a medium to small size but packs a punch of flavor. A sweet apple with a tart kick. Excellent for eating because it has a firm crunch and great for drying too. Good for baking and applesauce too.

Jonathon apples are ready too. They are great for baking, eating and drying. If you are interested in picking these, please ask us to show you where they are. We have 6 trees available.

We also still have tomatoes, jalapenos, and serrano peppers for u-pick.

Pumpkins are available soon too. Along with regular pumpkins we also have some large and small white pumpkins available this year and some small pie pumpkins too! $0.30/lb.
