September is here and we have been thinking about out loyal apple and pumpkin pickers out there. I know you are wondering about how silent we have been. Well, we have been waiting to reach out until we decided how to proceed this fall. We have a very meager apple cropπ’! The girls(apple trees) had a beautiful bloom on many varieties but then we had several nights of close to freezing temperatures which hurt the bloom and tender buds. On top of temperatures we had rain, cloudy, rain, cloudy β¦β¦β¦ I know you get the picture! The bees alas prefer dry and sunny for the best pollination. So combine all of this in an extended time period and you get fungi, insects, inadequate pollination plus more rain and wind = less quality and quantity of apples. Thus with our circumstances described, this is how we will operate this year. We will have a small quantity of Nova Spy and Pixie Crunch pre-picked this Friday and Saturday for 2.00/ #. We will be open each Friday and Saturday 10a-5p from September 12 thru October 25 or as long as supplies last. No Sunday sales. If you need an appointment for a different time, please call or text 740-815-9133 and leave a message and call back number.
Now the good news, the pumpkins look GREAT and will be ready September 19 AND we will be pressing our first cider!!!!
Hope to see you soon!
