It has been a pleasure being on this farm with the good company of many of you who came for some fruit, fresh air and maybe a bit of conversation. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and good cheer. We are optimistic for better times in July 2021 when we open again for the harvest. We’ll try to post news over the winter and spring about what’s happening here.
Closed for the year

APPLES AND CHRISTMAS TREES
The stand is open 10 – 4. Today, Sunday 11/22, is our last day.
We have apple cider, Empire, Cortland, McIntosh and Gala apples at the stand along with colorful gourds for decoration. There are a few boxes left of Apple firewood.
And now, about Christmas trees –
We found ourselves with a difficult choice to make about Christmas tree season and have come to the decision we won’t be open this year. We’d rather not disappoint people but need to consider what is best for all of us. Hope you will come back next year to find an abundance of trees to choose from!
You can check with Massachusetts Christmas Tree Association for a list of tree farms offering cut your own.
Please don’t forget us for next year!

APPLES
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.

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.
