Ready or Not - It's Apple Pickin' Time!

Though summer is still here (full blast!), our first apples are ripe and ready to pick!

Apples on TreeGala, Ginger Gold, Virginia Gold, and Golden Supreme - all wonderful for eating -are plentiful and just waiting for you to pick.

Peach season is not over yet - we'll still have plenty of already-picked peaches available for you, for at least another 1-2 weeks.  If you haven't gotten your fill of peaches this summer, don't forget to pick up some when you visit. 

 
Other varieties of apples will be ripening soon, including Golden Delicious (around Labor Day) and Red Delicious (around Sept 7). And before you know it, October will be here with all your favorites, including Fuji, Granny Smith, Braeburn, Pink Lady, and more!
 
Check our availability chart to find out when your favorite variety will be ripe!
