The  ripest apples will be Zestars, Ginger Golds and Premiers.  There will be tart Macintosh, especially on the 85 year old trees.  Galas will be riper next week, but some with good color will be ripe this weekend.

Honeycrisp may be ripe next weekend September 13 or may need to wait until September 20.  We will make the decision by Wednesday September 10.

The photo shows our granddaughters Sylvia and Katie decorating more purple alligators to be this years “Charlies” out in the orchard on Saturdays and Sundays.  Go madtomorchard.com/charlie for details.

Syrup from Zecher’s Havoc Hill Sugar House has been delivered.  I will pick up cider from Dutton’s tomorrow.

Check out our restocked shirts and hats with our logo – we have added more colors and styles.

AND – Sylvia and our daughter Jennifer made a perfect trial DONUT run last weekend and will be making donuts again every weekend.

Look forward  to seeing you.
