The wait is over!
Pink Lady apples are finally ripe.
Always the last one to ripen, but SO worth the wait.
Pink Lady apples are a great all-around apple. Great for eating, they are part sweet but also have more of a tangy-tart kick. They are great for baking and applesauce too. Plus even better they have always been the best storage apple of the all the winter apples we grow. At least that is what I have found in my experience. Come check them out!
Other apple availability:
Braeburn, Fuji, Granny Smith, Melrose, Jonagold, Gold Rush, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious - LOTS LEFT OF THESE!
Gala- Tiny bit left but you will only find them if you ask us. A few trees in the older section of the orchard have them left.
Rome, Ruby Jon - All picked.
Thank you to all that came out to our first ever Apple Festival! We are planning on having it again next year! We all had so much fun and so did you guys it seemed! Just nice to have a chance to talk with all of you more.
One thing I learned from our applesauce tasting is that Ruby Jon apples making AMAZING applesauce. I thought I loved Jonagold applesauce but Ruby Jon is even better! Unfortunately Ruby Jon apples have all been picked this year but I am already looking forward to next year!!
Here are some pictures to give you an idea what the festival was all about for those of you who couldn't make it.
Getting all set up in the morning.
