Orchard News

 
 
Join us for an adventure at the
orchard. You never know exactly
what you will find and we've got some surprises in store, including this crazy big zucca gourd, the largest type of gourd in the world, averaging 60 to 100 lbs. 
Said to be delicious and taste like zucchini.  Which has us wondering just how much zucchini bread would this one make? 
 
Picking season in full swing - Many apple varieties available and this weekend we'll be picking the first of the Jonagold apples.
  
  
 
Please bring bug spray. Those pesky mosquitoes are still around. Some days they aren't bothersome; Other days they are a big bother. We've treated to extent we can so now we need mother nature to stop with the rain and dry things out.
 
New this fall - We've stocked the Apple Barn with tasty fall treats, including apple butter, pumpkin butter, apple cider jelly, red raspberry jelly and more.
 
Pumpkin patch is open  - Even if you aren't quite ready to pick out your jack-o-lantern pumpkin, it's a great time to pick up a few decorator pumpkins to park on your front steps. 
 
U-pick prices:
Jonagold, Fuji, Sonata,  
Haralson, and Red Delicious - $1.50/pound/U-pick
Jonathan -$1.00 per pound/U-pick
Raspberries - $3.50 per pound/U-pick
  
Entry fee - $4/person, of that, $3 can be applied toward purchase of u-pick when you check out
  

Orchard to Table
  
 Raspberry Lemon Recipe of the Week  - We tried two different recipes with this flavor combination. One is homerun and other is more on the order of "swing and a miss".  The homerun is Baked Raspberry Lemon French Toast. Dust with powdered sugar and seems so fancy. Great for leisurely weekend brunch.   

We look forward to seeing you soon!
