The views are as good as ever – there continue to be Galas, Honeycrisps , Cortlands, Macouns and Macs, but not as many as earlier. There are beginning to be more drops – especially Honeycrisp.
We will start our late varieties ( Empire, Jonagold, Golden Delicious and Crimson Crisp) on Friday Sept 30.
Saturday Oct 1 & Sunday Oct 2 will be our last weekend and we expect to close by Thursday Oct 6 – we will not have enough apples to be open Columbus Day weekend.
There will be cider all week – donuts on both weekends. The wooden apple has not yet been found.
We had lots of folks up this past weekend and lots of Honeycrisps and other varieties were picked. This week we will continue to have Honeycrisp, Gala, Cortland, MacIntosh, Macoun and Fuji.
There be Honeycrisps this weekend, but fewer than last weekend. There are also beginning to be some Mac and Honeycrisp drops.
At this point we expect to have enough apples to be open this coming weekend (Sept 24 & Sept 25), thru the weekend of Oct 1 & Oct 2 and wind down by mid week – probably Oct 5.
The late varieties – Empire, Jonagold, and Crimson Crisp will start on Oct 1 – possibly a day or two earlier.
Come get your apples while we still have fruit. Weather forecast is for cool weather.
The mid season apples are ripe, so we have opened up picking today for Honeycrisp, Cortland, Macoun and Fuji. There still are good Galas – Macs are more of a treasure hunt.
The Honeycrisp crop is bigger than we originally thought. They may (or may not) last a couple of weeks depending on how many folks come this weekend. Honeycrisp do ripen in stages, so pick the red ones and leave the green ones to ripen a bit more for next week.
There is cider all week – Mrs. Murphy’s donuts will be here on the weekend. The wooden IPod apple will go out tonight – finder wins an IPod.
Weather looks good Friday and Saturday – not so good Sunday (but there will be donuts). Come help us get the apples picked.
