We have turned the corner and are approaching the harvest of the last few varieties from the orchard. This week we will be harvesting Stamen Winesap and Black Twig Winesap. Pink Lady, Gold Rush, and Granny Smith will also be on the agenda for picking this week. Many people have the perception that the Granny Smith variety is an early apple. It is actually one of the last apples picked in the orchard. The supermarkets and chain groceries numb us to the time of year that apples ripen and are picked fresh since they always have a large supply of many varieties all year long. The Gold Rush are becoming a popular late apple. If you are interested in a larger quantity be sure to call ahead and put an order in to ensure you get your hands on these deliciously juicy late apples.
We plan to be selling apples through October at our regularly attended markets and at the main building located at 21134 Tony Road. There are still plenty of Yellow and Red Delicious, Mutsu, and Chesapeake as well as the Winesap, Pink Lady, and Gold Rush.
The U-Pik operation is closed for the season. We are very pleased with all of the customer support during our first season of opening, and we thank all of our new and returning customers that came out to support this new venture for us. We look forward to seeing you at the U-Pik in 2020 for season #2!
I was glad to see you have the Anika apples. I’ll try
to order a few next year from you. Do you also have Wealthy
apples. Again I might try to order some from you in
in the fall.
Sounds great! We look forward to doing business with you in 2020!
