Picking thru Thursday : Gala Apples and Coralstar Peaches. 

 

We will start on the Honeycrisp Apples on Friday morning at 9 am.  The Honeycrisp are smaller than they should be, but for pickers who will wander to pick, you will find apples that are decent in size.  We will start on the Marrs Grapes at the same time.  The price of both the Grapes and Apples will be 70 cents per pound.  The "pygmy " Glohaven Peaches will also be able to be picked starting on Friday, but 95% of these will need to wait until the week of the 25th.  When these are ripe, the flavor is amazing. They will also be 70 cents per pound.

We  had about  3 inches of rain on Monday. 

We have a fair supply of the Coralstar Peaches.  We have several hundred pounds of the Coralstar yet to pick.  These will all be on the ground by the 25th of August, so if you want some of these come pick before then.  The Redhaven and Glohaven peaches are mostly picked out, a few may be found but you need to check a lot  trees to get 20 pounds of peaches.

   Peaches will be $1 per pound.

Our Serendipity Sweet Corn had great taste and quality, and today is the last day that we will pick from the patch.  If you would like to pick from the patch, that will be OK, and the price will be $3 for 14 ears.  You should be able to find some sweet corn thru this coming Saturday August 23rd.

Gala Apples started last week, but the Gala  will be very good all of this week.  These are a great eating apple.

 

Please remember to bring your own containers, as Peaches do not stack like Apples. 

The Flamin Fury Peaches will be able to be picked on Friday with the other fruit.  We only have several hundred pounds of these so more than likely we will sell out the first hour.

  

 

OUR HOURS DURING  PEACH SEASON WILL BE:

Monday - Friday  9 am thru 8 pm.

Saturday 9 am thru 4 pm. 

SUNDAY - CLOSED

Thanks for burning Ethanol in your cars and trucks, it helps to keep American Dollars in America.  Please remember that corn used for ethanol is responsible for about 3% of the rise in your food bill, yet the production of ethanol reduces the price of gas at the pump by about 10%.  

Currently our Pumpkin Patch looks GREAT.  We have about 2 acres of Pumpkins and Gourds.

Directions

to the AppleHutch store.
From the southeast corner of Plains, go three miles south on a paved road and one and one-half east. Look for two, dark blue with white top, Harvestores at our farm. You can see these from a distance, and drive to them.

 No one is allowed to enter the orchard without permission each time. Please check in to the store first. Generally, we can't give permission to enter and look at the orchard when we do not have fruit to sell. Thanks for your understanding.
