It has been a very busy last six weeks. Peaches ripened, had to be picked, orders filled and now onward we go to harvesting the apple crop. Things have been so busy with harvest that updates have not been posted in a very timely manner. There are just so many hours in a day and time slips away.
Our apple harvest is well underway. We have picked Gingergold, Gala, Blondie, McIntosh and currently finishing picking the ever popular Honeycrisp apple. We have enjoyed getting back to the area Farmers’ Markets and our sales locations have been frequented by many new and old customers. We appreciate seeing and helping customers get the apples that serve their needs. While many are just looking for “out of hand” eating varieties we are noticing more customers interested in making sauce, pie filling and dried apples. We are always willing to answer any questions and help where we can with getting the right variety for the needs of our customers. We have over fifty varieties of apples in the orchards and we will always find something that will work.
Our U-PIK has been attracting families looking for an outdoor experience. You can not get a more “outdoor” experience than enjoying a beautiful blue sky with gentle breezes and walking through the rows of apple trees that are laden with beautiful fruit. It is a truly educational experience for the young as well as the “young at heart.” A great way to get one with Mother Nature. For those who wish to purchase already picked, washed and pre-bagged apples, that option is available also at the U-PIK. A good line of other apple products are available as well.
We invite all of you to check out what we have to offer. Our U-PIK is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm. All weekend sales are now conducted at the U-PIK location in order to make things run more smoothly. The home location is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm. Just a reminder that messages to our Facebook account is a much better way to comment or get information as we get behind on this website at times. Not intentional, just the way a “non-tech savvy” person such as myself has to deal with things.
