The 2021 season has come to a conclusion and what a season it was! This year we battled ice storms, heat waves (118 degrees in June!), and ever changing guidance related to Covid-19. We are very thankful to have had a good quality crop despite the weather challenges and thankful we were able to be prepared to meet all guidance and mandates and have a successful season.
We are also extremely thankful for our staff this season. They spent hours everyday sanitizing and helping make things safe for customers visiting the farm as well as each other working at the farm, while still managing to have fun.
This year, we were also able to try out some new things. In addition to our Apples, Pears, Prunes, Pumpkins, Tomatoes, and Peppers, we also tried out Watermelon! It was more challenging than expected to grow, and we learned a lot! We were delighted at the response from our customers and plan to grow a lot more next year for u-pick again!
This years Largest Apple Contest brought in the biggest apples we have ever seen in our orchard. The largest being a Jonagold that weighed in at 1.56 pound! A highlight of our season for sure!
So many fun exciting things this season. It makes us anxious to get started on brainstorming and planning for next year.
Thank you to all of our amazing customers for making our 2021 season such a memorable one! See you all next August!
