The time is here and the apples are ready. The orchard will open for the season next Saturday, August 19. Hours will be Saturdays from 10-5 and Sundays from noon-5. First up as always will be State Fair. A very good crisp and somewhat tart apple that goes with just about anything. A week or so behind that will be Zestar. This year the Zestar crop is impressive to say the least. For both of these early varieties, since we have such a good crop, we are going to let you "pick your own" if you like. If you would rather just pick up a bag, thats ok too! The bees have also had a good summer and within the next couple of weeks, we will be extracting honey. So if you would like some really good local honey, it wont be far off. See you next weekend!
