As I indicated in my last post, we have a smaller crop than last year.  That said, we will still have good apples, cider, syrup and donuts (on the weekends) plus some new clothing items and more note cards.

Since there are relatively few of the early ripening Zestars and Ginger Golds we will not be open Labor Day Weekend, but we plan to open weekend of September  6 &7  for those early varieties plus Macintosh and hope some Galas will be ripe.  We will be busy the next three weeks mowing and getting the barn set up.

The picture shows some Macintosh on the old trees that already have good size.

Come see us and help us make 2025 a good season.  Look forward to seeing you !!

Hope everyone has had a good winter – ours was long with a lot of snow and ice, but our pruning is done and all the brush is now picked up and chipped.

After the huge crop we had last year,  the bloom this spring is only moderate and the very wet weather has  made pollination difficult.  It will be a couple weeks until we can see how much fruit has set.  Barring hail storms, we should have  a reasonable crop this year but not as big as last year.

Crimson Crisps, Cortlands and some of the now 85 year old Macintosh trees had the most bloom.

Put us on your fall schedule – probably starting Labor Day Weekend.  Look forward to seeing you.

The old Macintosh trees are a mainstay.
