PLEASE HELP RECYCLE!
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!
Thanks!

Saucesational: An Experiment in Applesauce: Gala
Next up for the Sauce-sational Applesauce Experiment – one of my favorites for fresh eating – Gala!
I peeled, cored, and sliced the apples with my apple machine and put them in the min slow cooker.
4 hours later…I had a juicy, chunky sauce. 
That had very little flavor. The sweet deliciousness of a fresh gala seemed to disappear with this sauce. I was not impressed… I did like the chunky consistency but that’s pretty much where it ended. I never would have predicted this. I made MacIntosh and Gala sauce in the same day and the Mac was the clear winner between Jared, Cedi and myself.
