🍎 An Important Update from Hinegardner’s Orchard🍎
For the first time since 1965, Hinegardner’s Orchard will look a little different this fall.
There will NOT be an apple pick or Cider Day at the orchard this year. ❤️🍎
A late freeze this spring significantly affected our apple crop, and unfortunately, we simply don’t have enough apples to open the orchard for public picking or hold our traditional Cider Day.
BUT—we still have fresh Hinegardner’s apples and LOTS of delicious apple cider available! 🍎🥤❤️
🍎 Apples & Cider Available
We have a limited supply of pre-picked apples:
🍏 Jonathan
🍎 Jonagold
🍏 Golden Delicious
Please note: We are out of Honeycrisp this year.
**Pre-Picked Apples:**
• Full bushel (about 40 lbs): $45
• ½ bushel: $23
• Smaller quantities: $1.25/lb
And we have lots of fresh apple cider available for just $5 per gallon and $3 for 1/2 gallon! 🥤🍎
Whether you like your cider cold and refreshing or warmed up with a little fall spice, it’s the perfect taste of autumn! Remember, this stuff freezes really well and is great for the holidays!🍂❤️
📞 For apple or cider orders and to arrange a pickup time, please call Dave Hinegardner at 641-691-9582.
Pickup is available on weekends, afternoons, and evenings by appointment.
We’ll also be bringing our apples and cider to the Marshalltown Wednesday Night Farmers’ Market, the Thursday afternoon Grinnell Farmers’ Market, and Saturday at the Marshalltown Market.
We know many of you will be disappointed that you can’t come pick your own apples or join us for Cider Day this year. We are too. This was an incredibly difficult decision, especially knowing how much these fall traditions mean to the families who have visited us over the years.
But Hinegardner’s isn’t going away! ❤️🍎
We are incredibly grateful for all of the families who have supported our orchard throughout the years. From **1965 to today, you have been part of our family’s story, and we truly appreciate every visit, every apple picked, every gallon of cider, and every fall tradition you’ve shared with us.
This year will certainly look different, but we hope you’ll still stop by for some fresh Hinegardner’s apples and cider and help us keep this family tradition going.
We may not have an apple pick or Cider Day this year, but we still have a little taste of Hinegardner’s fall waiting for you! 🍎🥤🍂
Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and your continued support of our family orchard. ❤️🍎
