Honeycrisp are Ready!

Our crazy summer weather has made it challenging to predict what our apples will do as far as ripening times this year, and some varieties are popping up soon than expected while others are taking their time. We were pleasantly surprised to check our Honeycrisp apples today and discover that they are RIPE AND READY! Our younger trees are ready so make sure to follow the signs or ask our orchard attendants which row is best! Honeycrisp are a delightfully juicy, sweet apple that is great for eating, and pies.
Galas are also ripe and ready and great for eating, applesauce, and pies. We think they are the perfect size to pack in a school lunch.
Gravensteins are done for the year, but if you missed out and are up for a little hunting, you MIGHT still be able to find a few up in the inside of a tree or two.
Tomatoes and Peppers are both ripe and ready as well for u-pick and are $1 per pound.

Hot Weather

The hot weather is sticking with us through the weekend. We suggest putting off picking until Monday when the weather is back to normal. We still have a few Gravensteins available and starting Monday we will also open up the Gala rows and the tomatoes for u-pick! 

Hope to see you all starting Monday!

We are having a lot of fun getting ready for the 2021 Season! The apples are looking great and set to be ready around the middle of August. Our tomato walls are taking shape and will also be ready, along side the tomatoes, the middle of August. Last year we sold out of pumpkins the week before Halloween, so this year we have doubled our pumpkin crop and added in even more fun variety in shape and color.

Our tomato and pumpkin plants are rotated in our field every year to keep our soil at its healthiest. This years rotation left us with some open space at the front of the field. We were excited to brainstorm some new ideas on how to fill those empty spaces. One of our ideas, that we planted this week, is U-pick Watermelon! That’s right, this year you can come out to the farm and pick your own watermelon right from the field!

We have some other ideas for the rest of the space and will post about them as soon as they are planted as well.

Can’t wait to see you all!
