Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, and Bartlett Pears

This week we have added Golden Delicious and Red Delicious to the Ripe and Ready list.
Golden Delicious are one of the most underrated apples. Some people assume they will be soft and mushy since they have experienced 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.
Red delicious can sometimes get a bad wrap. But fresh off the tree, these apples are great!  Crunchy and mild in flavor, they make a great snack.
We are almost sold out of both Honeycrisp and Jonagold. If you were still wanting some of these, I would come pick soon!
We have our final picking of Bartlett Pears ready at the stand. We have both green and Red Bartletts available for we-pick.
Watermelons are still sweet and delicious, but this will most likely be our last weekend to purchase one.
Pumpkins are ready to be found in the pumpkin patch! We are so excited to see the exciting colors and shapes that are being found and brought to the stand. Gourds and squash are now ready as well. We have Butternut, Acorn, Spaghetti and Delicatta squash available.
Tomatoes are full and ready to be picked. Our vines are loaded with red, ripe tomatoes. No more worrying if we are picked out.
The sunflower maze is still in full bloom and should last another 1-2 weeks. If you haven't taken a walk through the maze yet, make sure to check it out. Beautiful flower bouquets created by Little Sunshine Flower Farm are also available at the stand Thursday through Sunday.

Ruby Jon and Melrose

More additions to the Ripe and Ready list! Ruby Jon and Melrose have been added today.
Ruby Jon are a fun sweet apple. They are a dark red apple and our favorite choice for applesauce. If you leave a little bit of the skin on while cooking down your apples, it will turn the applesauce pink!
Melrose are a wonderful versatile apple. One of our favorite picks for eating. They are crisp, juicy, and sweet. But not too sweet. They are wonderful for eating, applesauce, and pies. A must try.
The Sunflower Maze is in full bloom and looking wonderful. We don't charge admission for anything at the orchard and that includes the Sunflower Maze! Take a stroll and enjoy the cool grass. Sunflowers can be u-cut at our u-cut flower rate.
Watermelon are still being picked in the field. However, we don't expect these to be plentiful for much longer. Make sure to come pick some before they are gone for the year.
Pears and Pumpkins are coming soon!

Liberty, Sunflower Maze, and Tomatoes

The Ripe and Ready list is growing! This week we have added Liberty to the list.
Liberty are a deep red apple that are tart and crisp. They are our favorite choice for drying apples.
We are quickly going through our Honeycrisp crop this year, so make sure to visit us soon if you were still hoping to pick some of these this season.
Our Sunflower Maze is in full bloom! It is an actual maze this year with grass paths for easy strolling. The sunflowers are available for u-pick as well as the u-cut dahlias and other flowers. Pre-picked bouquets are also ready and available at the stand on weekends.
Watermelon are still plentiful in the field for u-pick and available at the stand for we-pick.
Tomatoes have loved the sunshine we have been having. This heat has ripened a lot of our Romas. The slicers are ripening nicely too. The Peppers are in abundance and the Cucumbers are coming back as well.
Pears are temporarily sold out but we should have more Ripe and Ready the weekend of the 13th.
