Drop off your plastic bags and canning jars at the orchard and we'll re-use them!

We're always looking for wagons for people to use when they go to our pumpkin patch - feel free to drop off your old or un-used wagons at the orchard!

We're also happy to take any picnic tables you're getting rid of - even if it's just the 'bones' of the table.

Thanks!

Apple of the Day…Duchess

product_115The Duchess apple is one of the first varieties that ripens on our orchard.  We start picking these around August 8th…give or take a week.  The Duchess tree is very winter hardy and does well in our climate. This apple originated in Russia. Duchess is a medium fruit with smooth yellow skin overlaid with a red wash, will turn completely red when exposed to the sun. The flesh of Duchess is tender, crisp, and juicy with a tangy flavor.  As with most of the early apples, the Duchess has a short storage life, so if this is your favorite I would be one of the first one’s here.  Many have said this is wonderful for making pies!
