10/14,day 40 of living the dream growing apples in Darboy! Good morning Fox Valley.Has it been that many days? Winding down another success filled orchard season.
It was definitely an interesting year. Hurricane menasha thinned many trees with winds of 60-70mph,causing the remaining fruit to thrive. Also tipped a couple over but we saved them. My apologies for those large apples,maybe next year we'll get some smaller ones! Lol
It also produced hail,every orchards nightmare. Probably lost 20% of our crop,but had a surplus of baking apples! The owners of Everflo orchard near bonduel lost 85% of theirs. Ouch!
But we're still plugging along.
Honeycrisp,cortland,haralred,red delicious, golden delicios,honeygold,empire,candy crisp,frostbite,fireside,greening,and morr.
Deer apples,baking apples,seconds,windfalls for sauce,all on our bargain table.
And our world famous Caramel apples. Plain or smothered in crunchy roasted Virginia peanuts. Still doing empire.A great treat to celebrate another brewers victory.
Still have some home made raspberry jam.
We have apples to pick,only $1.50/lb
Stop in and say goodbye, our days are numbered. And as always, thats my 2 cents.
