It's back!! The Largest Apple Contest is here! This year, instead of only having one winner at the end of the month, we are going to have a winner every week in October! We will announce the winner of the week every Monday starting on October 18th. The contest winner every week will receive TWO FREE BUCKETS OF U-PICK APPLES! The contest is judged by weight of the apple and the apple has to have been found in our orchard. We have a scale at the stand so make sure to stop and have your Largest Apple recorded to be entered to win the weekly prize!
This week is very exciting because ALL of our fall apples have ripened at once! That means, no matter what apple you find in the orchard, it is Ripe and Ready! Some rows are empty, so make sure to pick on the rows with our Green Beilke Signs.
Apples that were added this week:
Cripps Pink!! - More commonly known as Pink Lady. These fall apples are a super fun, crunchy, sweet-tart apple. They are fantastic for baking pies, applesauce, and eating. They always go fast, so don't miss this one!
Braeburn - Our sweetest of the fall apples. Great for baking, applesauce, and eating.
Goldrush - A favorite on the farm! This apple is our best apple for cider making. It is more on the tart side with a bit of sweetness. It is super crunchy but also super juicy. Makes great pies, applesauce, and great for eating. A must try!
Grannysmith - Classic pie apple! Tart and crunchy, and develops sweetness when baked.
All four of these Apples are also great for storing!
Pumpkins are in the patch waiting to be discovered! Remember we have two patches this year, and the second patch behind the tomatoes is overflowing with classic orange pumpkins!
Tomatoes are still Ripe and Ready as well!
