Fuji, Rome Beauty, Pears, and Pumpkins
The sunshine is sticking around and giving us another beautiful weather weekend for Apple Picking! This week we have added Fuji and Rome Beauty to the Ripe and Ready list.
Fuji is a very popular, sweet, crunchy fall apple. They are great for snacking, baking, applesauce, and the first storing apple of the year to pop up. When stored well, our storing apples can last anywhere from 3-6 months! Last year we sold out of these in less than five days, so don't miss your chance to pick some Fuji this season.
Rome Beauty is a beautiful, ruby red apple. These are wonderful for baking whole, and lovely in a pie as well. Rome Beauty is also a storing apple.
Pears are back! The Bosc pears are finally ripe and available, already picked, at the stand! Bosc are a wonderful hard pear that does not need any extra ripening.
Pumpkins are fantastic! We have been amazed by the colors that are coming out of the decorative pumpkin patch, and excited to see how you all carve the traditional pumpkins coming out of the classic patch.
We still have u-pick flowers, gourds, and squash as well.
