How to Store Your Apples

We have some great storing apples ready to be picked! We thought we would give our best advice for how to make those apples store for as long as possible.
Your very first step to a long lasting apple is to TAKE IT OUT OF THE BAG! We added bags this year to be compliant with new guidelines, but have realized you may not realize that bag should just be for transportation. Apples release ethylene gas, and if they are in a plastic bag, that gas will make them ripen much faster. So start by taking those apples out of those bags! 
Next, you want to think of a cool dark place. Root cellar is best, but for those of us without a cellar, a garage can suffice. Just make sure your apples won't be getting hit by the sunlight from a window everyday, that will make the temperature of your apples fluctuate and ripen faster. A cardboard box is great for storing. Ideally, the apples would be in a single layer.
For those of us who do not have much garage space on shelfs, a garage fridge will do as well. But there is a bit of moisture in a fridge so this method might last 2-3 months instead of 3-4 months.
The varieties we have that are great for storing are Braeburn, Cripps Pink, Granny Smith, and Gold Rush.

We plan to be open through Monday, November 23rd, so make sure to get any last apples you needed this week!

Open For Two More Weeks!

The rain has arrived! The winter months are bearing down on us and that means the season is winding down. If you were wanting some apples, make sure to come out before the season is over! We plan to stay open until the 23rd of November.
There are still six varieties to choose from in the orchard! Many are good for storing and can last for months. So if you grab some before the season is over, you could have apples available throughout the winter.
