Orchard Update

It’s June, and the apple blossoms are now tiny, growing apples! After a spectacular bloom, some varieties have overproduced, so we are currently hand-thinning them to reduce stress on the trees. It makes us sad to send these baby apples to the orchard floor, but it is a necessary step to ensure a consistent annual harvest. So far, only the crab apples and Sweet Maia varieties appear to have been affected by the frost. We were lucky to miss yesterday’s hail by half a mile, but Mother Nature certainly keeps us on our toes!

Testimonials

Such a great experience compared to the tourist trap orchards that have become so common. Staff was very friendly, prices were great and the apple selection is the best I have ever seen. Crimson topaz is our new favorite!
