Update
Looks like Granny Smith are gone.
Still have Gold Rush, Braeburn and Pink Lady.
We will also try to keep a few already picked buckets of apples up here by the office so if you come when it's raining, you can just pick up one of those. They are $2 extra, so $10 per bucket.
Bring your kids, they will love it! Show them where apples come from, not just from the grocery store shelf.

We still have apples!
Drove through the orchard this morning and we still have lots of apples!
The Gold Rush trees are still loaded once you walk halfway down.
Plenty of Pink Lady left...also walk halfway down the row to find them.
Lots of Braeburn.
There are still some Granny Smith. We have 3 rows of them. One of the rows is long and two of the rows are shorter and set back aways. If you go to the two short rows, you will find some Granny Smith apples left there.
The Red Delicious are all gone.
If you have your heart set on Golden Delicious we still have a little bit left. We'll just have to show you where to find them.

Pink Lady Ready!
The Pink Lady is ready! I wait (un)patiently all apple season for these.
Pink Lady apples are beautiful....light green with a pretty pink color. Sweet, tart and crunchy.
Good for eating, pies and storing.
Lots of Gold Rush and Braeburn still.
Also Golden Delicious.
Some Granny Smith and Red Delicious.
Season is winding down but still lots of nice apples out there.
Who doesn't like picking apples in the rain anyway! It's the total fall experience!

More Apples are Ready Now!
I just went thru the orchard this morning and and the following varieties are now ready:
The Galas are ready to pick!
The Honeycrisp are ready
Three rows of Jonagold are ready
One row of Ruby Mac.
We also have a limited amount of pears.
And don't forget to get one of Erin's Mums for your yard.
See you at the farm.
Grandpa is still cruising around in his Gator, he's 89 now.
He originally planted this orchard in 1960.
We are also selling chrysanthemums this year. Right now, the red chrysanthemums are showing color but soon there will be white, purple, yellow and orange. Chrysanthemums are perennials and will come back every year if it is an average winter. They are beautiful with lots of color! And 2nd year if planted in proper soil, will grow huge. I've seen some that grow 2 ft wide!
Every year we always have the 1st graders over from the school across the street to make apple cider. The kids always have a lot of fun and get to take the cider home that they made!
