Fall is here! Time to do some baking. We have Zestar seconds available this week. Apples available this week are Zestar, Paula Red, Ginger Gold and Riverbelle. Open Thursday and Friday 10 - 6 and Saturday 9 - 4. closed Sunday - Wednesday We accept cash or checks. All of our apples are picked, washed and bagged for you.

The University of Minnesota developed the Zestar! apple for uses including fresh eating, as it has a sweet-tart flavor with brown sugar notes, and for baking and cooking, as its firm flesh holds up well in pies, crisps, and applesauce. It is also excellent in salads for its crisp texture, and can be paired with cheeses and nuts.
