The orchard is now closed for the season and we want to thank all of you who came out and enjoyed the season with us!  Over all, we had a good year.  Mother nature always seems to throw us a curve.  And this year was no different.  In the end, it makes us all stronger.  the bees also had a good year and now comes the chore of getting them through the winter in one piece.  As long as they have enough food and the mites are under control, they should be fine.  I have had fairly decent luck getting them trough the winter, but I have lost bees.  I was told in the very beginning that you will loose bees and if you cant deal with that, then you shouldnt raise them.  Its really no different than raising just about anything.
  For now, anyway, its time to put the bees and the trees to bed for the winter and enjoy the remaining fall season.  Thank you all again and we will see you next fall!

Snow Sweet

There are just  a couple weekends left to the apple season.  If you have been waiting for the right time, that would be now.  This weekend, we will be picking Snow Sweet and we will start picking Connell Red.  Snow Sweet has a nice buttery flavor to it and it also is an apple that doesnt turn brown right away as most apples do.  It is a crunchy and sweet apple that you need to try.  We will also have the last of the Sweet Sixteen and Haralson seconds.  I cant think of anything better than being in the orchard on a crisp fall day with a hot cup of cider in hand.  Its Minnesota at its finest.  The season overall has been a good one to this point.  We have had some wet weekends, but overall, it hasnt been too bad.  the last few varieties that we have seem to sweeten up with alittle frost and mother nature has cooperated with that.
  Come on out this weekend while there is still time.  We will have both cider and honey as well as apples.  We always make our cider on Fridays, so if you want some, dont wait too long to come out.  We have sold out the last 3 weekends.  I'll also have a nice bonfire going for you to enjoy your cider by.  See you then!
