The Ripe and Ready list just keeps getting more exciting! This week we have added Ruby Mac.
Ruby Mac is a beautiful ruby red apple that has a great crunch and a super fun sweet flavor with a bit of tartness. They are wonderful to add for eating, baking, and applesauce. We especially love to mix them with Jonagold, or another sweet apple, to bring a complex flavor to our sauces and pies.
We have been anxiously awaiting the ripening of our pumpkins, and the time has finally come! We have an amazing varity this year. We have a whole pumpkin patch dedicated to our fun decorative pumpkins and another patch next to it to find classic pumpkins. In our decorative patch you can find all sorts of unique pumpkins. Pink, blue, red, white, warty, speckled, striped, polka dot, and more!! For our classic patch, we spent a good chunk of our off season searching for the perfect orange pumpkin with the perfect big stem. We looked long and hard and are quite happy with the pumpkins we found. We can't wait for you all to come check them out!
Watermelon, Tomatoes, and Pears are still doing great! We have loved seeing the great watermelon and tomatoes being picked out of the field. We will have watermelon for a couple weeks more and we will continue to have tomatoes in abundance until the first frost.

Honeycrisp, Jonagold, and Labor Day Hours
Labor Day weekend is here and we will be open regular hours the entire weekend!
What a perfect weekend to have our Honeycrisp and Jonagolds pop and be added to the Ripe and Ready list!
Honeycrisp are a sweet, crunchy, delicious apple. Great for eating and baking.
Jonagold are a sweet, crunchy, delicious apple as well and we find they have the perfect, classic apple flavor. Jonagold are great for eating, baking, and applesauce.
Watermelon are still plentiful in the field, but going fast. Don't miss your chance to pick a few!
Tomatoes and Peppers are still going strong as well. The rain had little to no effect on them and they are ready to be picked. We do still have a good supply of freshly pre-picked tomatoes at the stand as well.
Pears are ready! We have Bartlett Pears pre-picked at the stand. We have both Green and Red to choose from. These pears are ripe and ready to eat without any special ripening instructions.
Flowers are still lovely as well and ready to be u-cut in the field, or grab a pre-picked bouquet at the stand.

Smoothies!
Smoothies have popped up and are Ripe and Ready! Smoothies are an early ripening Golden Delicious. They have all those fun qualities of a Golden Delicious, sweet, crunchy, great for applesauce and pies. They just pop up early so we don’t have to wait until the end of September to start enjoying them.
Gravensteins are ALMOST gone. We expect them to be picked clean in the next 2-3 days. If you were holding out for cooler weather to come pick these, now is the time.
We plan to have Bartlett Pears pre-picked at the stand by this Thursday. These pears are delicious and ready to be eaten. No special ripening instructions for this variety.
Tomatoes, Peppers, and Watermelon are still plentiful, as well as our new addition this year, u-cut flowers. We of course will have our sunflower stroll in about a week, but our new u-cut flowers are a beautiful assortment of Zinnias, Cosmos, Amaranth, Celosia, and more! They are blooming now and ready to be cut.
