And just like that, another year has come and gone in the orchard! Seems like we just started picking a few days ago.  If I had to rate this year, I would give it about a 7.  The weather has been odd and a challenge to say the least the last 2 years.  But we have still managed to put up a decent crop of both apples and honey.  There is always a positive, you just have to look for it!  The trees are already setting their buds for next year so if we have a more normal spring, then the trees should do fine.  I want to thank all of you who came out to the orchard this fall and also apologize to those of you who came out only to find out we had sold out already.  In a normal year, the orchard would have made it another week or 2 but this year it was not to be.  So thank you to all of you again and we will see you next fall!!

With a hard frost on the way we made the decision that this Saturday will be our last day of the season.  We will be open from 10-5 on Saturday or until we sell out.  We will. have Haralson and Snow Sweet. We will also have seconds for those of you who want to make pies or apple sauce.  We will also have one last batch of cider.  So if you want some, don't wait too long.  We will have honey too.
  With colder temps on the horizon, we decided to pick the last 20 or so trees because I don't want them to freeze.  The weather has played an interesting role this year and you just have to go with the flow.  Usually we make it a couple more weeks but not this year.  I feel very fortunate to have had the crop we did, even with all the weird weather.  But the weekend looks to be nice so stop out and have a hot cup of cider and enjoy our nice fall weather!  See you this Saturday!!
