As we have been working in the orchard, it appears that there is  a bit more undamaged fruit than we initially thought – SO we plan now to be open four weekends in September – Sept. 9&10, Sept. 16&17, Sept. 23&24 and Sept. 30&Oct. 1.  Quantities will still be less than a normal year.

We plan on making donuts each weekend.  We hope to be able to have cider from Dutton’s and will have Havoc Hill Maple syrup.

We have been hand thinning freeze damaged fruit to allow remaining apples to  grow larger.  Continuing rains have kept us very busy trying to keep up with mowing.  Grape vines and morning glory are growing vigorously.  We continue to remove the ever present grape vines – Janey our new puppy thinks the grapevines are a great toy.

Picture shows some Ginger Gold trees with a few apples – some Ginger Gold trees have a bit more fruit.  The old Macintosh  trees have the most apples.

We look forward to seeing you this fall – wish that it could be for a full harvest – the views are as beautiful as ever.  Hopefully next year we will be back to a full crop.
