Another beautiful weekend is here with wonderful weather for picking!
This week in the Apple orchard, our Melrose and Golden Delcious have been added to the Ripe and Ready list.
Melrose are a wonderful apple. Similar in taste to the Honeycrisp and Jonagold, just a hair less sweet and a bit more crunchy. They are wonderful for baking, applesauce, and eating.
Golden Delicious are one of the most underrated apples. Some people assume they will be soft and mushy since they have expirienced that with store bought Golden Delicious. However, fresh off the tree, Goldens are fantastic! They are sweet, crunchy and juicy. They are also rated the second best apple for apple pies. Second only to the Grannysmith.
Tomatoes in the Tomato rows are doing amazing! This sunshine has really led to an abundance of ripe and flavorful tomatoes. It is the perfect time to come pick before the rains start.
Our Sunflower stroll is in full swing! There is no charge to wander through the sunflowers, and they can be picked for $1 per stem.
Watermelons are winding down for the year. We have a good supply at the stand, and with some searching they can still be found in the field. But don't miss out! We expect these to be done for the year by mid week next week.
Pumpkins are proving to be a fun time! We have been amazed at the fun varieties being found in the patch. We would love to see pictures you all have taken of your pumpkin displays!
