Wednesday, Oct. 14
It promises to be a beautiful day. There are areas on the farm with Macoun, Empire, Red Delicious and Cortland still to pick.
They are in limited rows and higher on the trees – picking poles will be very useful!
If you are coming to pick lots of your favorite apples you may find it challenging. If you’d like to pick a peck while you stroll around it should be satisfying!
On the stand you’ll find our Macoun, Cortland, McIntosh, Empires and Ruby Macs, also Honeycrisp and gourds. Daily 10-5. The orchard gate closes at 5.

Blues and Yellows
The blueberries are gone!
However, at the stand we’ve got our yellow peaches, honey, sunflowers, tomatoes and jam.
You can pick your own peaches, not quite ripe, but a couple of days on your kitchen counter should ripen them nicely. Ask for how to tell when to pick, and directions to the one ripe variety.

SLIM PICKING TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
White and yellow peaches will be available Tuesday and Wednesday. Honey, sunflowers and jam should be at the stand too.
Picking is not looking favorable for blueberries for those 2 days. There are more green than blue ones right now. Picking will be better by Thursday.
If wind and rain come – though it doesn’t look that way now!- we may stay under the tent but look for us in the stand if the tent is empty!

Saturday, July 18
It’s not surprising that people would like to get outside, pick berries off the bushes and soak up some sunshine and many enjoyed doing just that this week. We’ll be open today, Saturday July 18, but think you will find better picking next week. If you come to pick be ready to hunt for them, looking inside and under the branches. Please bring your mask to wear and plan to keep your family picking together.
There are so many green berries to ripen in the next few weeks!
Peaches are gone until Tuesday. As the season progresses we should have peaches every day. It’s just the beginning!
