Year Round

 
 
We are very excited to be starting a new season!  It has been a very long, cold winter and we are ready for springtime weather and fresh fruit & veggies.  We imagine you are too!!

Over the winter, we had a new website designed, and we are absolutely tickled with the final product.  Please book mark it, and reference it frequently.  It has a beautiful pictures that accompany our history, growing practices, crops, and recipes using Kuhn Orchards' fruit and vegetables.  The website is www.KuhnOrchards.com.

We have 2 more opportunities to purchase apples and other farm products through our "Winter Produce Delivery Program."  We have a delivery this Saturday, April 11th and again on Saturday, April 25th.  Please see details below.

Our Crystal City Farmers Market opens this Tuesday, April 7th. And a new Sunday market, Fairlington, opens on Sunday, April 19th.  Our complete Farmers Market Schedule is listed in the menu to the left.  

We'll see you at Market!
 
A La Carte Webstore

Place your produce order for delivery on Saturday, April 11th.  Webstore orders need to be in by midnight, Wednesday, April 8th.  You can Mix & Match apple varieties in half bushel boxes.  Available varieties:  GoldRush, Fuji, Pink Lady, York, Braeburn and Granny Smith.  We also have 5 pound bags available if you prefer smaller quantities.  Asian Pears are succulent and sweet.  Even through, Spring is in the air, it's still cool and some warm apple cider might just hit the spot!

  

We have eggs and meat available from Weikert's Egg Farm and milk available from Apple Valley Creamery.  

 

Place your order today!

If you haven't placed a webstore order, it is super easy to set up an account.  If you prefer to pay at pick-up, simply select the "check" payment option.  

 
Winter Produce Delivery Program Survey
If you are a Winter CSA Member, or your purchased fruit and veggies from the A La Carte Webstore, please take a moment to complete this survey.  We utilized a new software to organize the CSA and Webstore orders, and we'd like to know how it worked for you.  Thank you for your time and input!

What We've Been Up To
null
Spring time is a really busy time of the year for us.  We have finished pruning our apple trees and are wrapping up our peach and plum trees.  We have made new beds to plant our root crops and our alliums.  Check out this YouTube video as we work the ground and prep for planting.  Today we are planting our Red Dutch Shallots (pictured below).

Hopefully we'll get some video clips of planting trees later this month.  Planting trees is a relatively slow task, but when you turn around and look at the rows of tiny "feathered" sticks, it's a pretty proud and accomplished feeling.  

 
We look forward to seeing you at the Farmers Market!
