We are in the Third and Final week of the Largest Apple Contest! This weeks winner will be announced on Monday so make sure to come out and find a giant apple in the orchard and have it weighed in at the stand to be entered. The winner receives TWO FREE BUCKETS of u-pick apples!
There are still quite a few apples to choose from with 8 varieties on the Ripe and Ready list. It is getting to the point of the season where some of the varieties are getting to the ends of the rows. Make sure to check in with our orchard attendants before picking to make sure you are going down the right rows to find the apples you are after.
Melrose, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious are almost sold out so make sure to come pick soon if you were still hoping for some of those varieties. The rest of the varieties on the list we anticipate having for a few more weeks.
This is the last weekend to venture out to the pumpkin patch to find a pumpkin to carve. We have tall, short, wide, huge, and small pumpkins to choose from! We would love to see some pictures of the pumpkins you have all found and carved!
Tomatoes are mostly we-pick at the stand at this point. We have some still pink on the vine that can be u-picked and ripened at home, but the majority are already picked and ready to be picked up.
Flowers are done for the season. We have LOVED having fresh flower bouquets at the stand this year with flowers that were grown right on our farm. We will definitely have them again next year!
We have more Concord pears at the stand for a limited time and they will be the last of the pears for this year. We anticipate these going fast so make sure to grab some this weekend!
