Official opening 8/29! 🍎 We are so excited to see everyone. Pick-Your-Own reservations will not be needed this opening weekend.

Just a reminder: due to multiple freezes during bloom this spring, we have a significantly reduced crop this year. Our U-Pick varieties in the Lower Orchard were hit especially hard. Fruit will be more limited for PYO, quantities in the shop will also be lower, and cider will be pressed in smaller quantities.

We’ll try to keep everyone updated via our socials, and you can always check our “What’s Ripe” page on our website for the most up-to-date info.

Happy Apple Season! 🍎

On November 8, we’ll welcome Chloe Benjamin to Door Creek Orchard for a very special afternoon celebrating Under Story—the novel inspired, in part, by this place and the people who have tended it.

We’ll begin with an orchard walk, followed by a conversation with Chloe, moderated by Emily Glick. Chef Adam Struebing will be creating a menu of Under Story-inspired snacks.

Tickets are officially on sale! Space is limited to 40 people, and we’ve sold about half already.

Tickets: https://events.humanitix.com/under-story-at-door-creek-orchard

And if you missed yesterday’s newsletter, it includes my conversation with Chloe about Under Story, orchards, trees, hidden worlds, and the strange magic of watching a fictional place grow from a real one. 🍎

Zestar! Yes, the exclamation point is required. 😄

We will be open this weekend for Pick-Your-Own Zestar! from 10am-4pm both Sat&Sun (8/15&8/16). Pre-harvested Zestar! will also be available along with a selection of other summer apples.

I gotta say, the Zestar! are tasting extra delicious this year. Hope to see you this weekend!

Beekeeper Mike and his orchard hives have had a good honey season so far - so much so that he dropped off some honey for us to have for sale during summer apple hours! 🐝🍯

Mike has taken over Al’s location in the Lower orchard in addition to his original hives in the Upper priaire. We look forward to enjoying our Door Creek Orchard honey every year!

Lodi Apple (and honey!) hours tomorrow, Sunday 7/19, from 10am to 4pm! See you there.
