The First week of the Largest Apple Contest has a winner! Colin won week #1 with an Apple weighing in at 1.30 pounds. It is the winner for week #1 and also the largest apple ever found in the orchard! Congratulations to Colin, they won two free buckets of u-pick apples. We start week #2 today, so make sure to stop in at the Apple stand and have your largest apple weighed to enter week #2. The winner will receive TWO FREE BUCKETS of u-pick apples!
Also, we were excited to discover that Cripps Pink were ready to be picked this morning, so they have been added to the Ripe and Ready list! Cripps Pink are a great sweet-tart apple that are wonderful for snacking, baking, applesauce, and storing. We did a contest a few years back and made an apple crisp out of every variety in the orchard and blind tested them. The Cripps Pink was a unanimous winner! They are better known as Pink Lady.
