Sunday is the last day

Sunday, December 18 is the last day for apples this year.

They are still free.
There are a few Braeburn and Granny Smith left.
Not so many Gold Rush.
There are still plenty of Pink Lady left, but they are smaller in size.

It has been an interesting year. Probably our best quality apples yet.
Our weather system causing all farm crops including apples to be 2 and 3 weeks late.
The dryest December so far in recorded history. We have never picked apples after Thanksgiving ever.
This is our first ever free apple  giveaway. We are glad you are able take advantage of this. We were also able to give away 40,000 lbs of apples to Salem Harvest and they distributed them out to Marion Polk food share and others.

Next for us is to start pruning the trees, which is very labor intensive.
Then apply some Lime to keep the soil pH up.
Then an organic copper spray for healthy trees to protect against disease.
Many of the products we use are also used in organic crops.

Check back with us to follow our other crops next summer.
Then we will see you in late August for another apple crop year.
We will post when they are ready next year.

Grandpa will be 92 years old by then, and hopefully still out driving the Gator around the farm.
