APPLES
MOTHER NATURE WAS NOT ON OUR SIDE THIS YEAR. Due to a late frost that killed most of the apple buds, the apple crop is only half of what it normally is. Unfortunately this season we may not have as many varieties as we would normally have. Additionally, we will have some HONEY CRISP apples, but they will not be available at ALL times this season.
Although we don’t offer apple picking directly off the tree, we welcome you to fill your own basket from a freshly picked variety of apples. Apples are made of mostly water and are one of the most nutritionally complete fruits. Apples are also high in fiber and are a quick easy snack. Below are a few of our most popular apple varieties and when their season generally begins.
