We have 8 varieties of apples, including Honeycrisp, Goodland, Goodmac, Kerr Crab, Liberty, Spartan, Wealthy and Haralson that are usually ripe at the beginning of September until mid October. Pricing is by the 1/8 bushel (about 6-7 pounds) or 1/4 bushel (about 13-14 pounds)and we provide the apple bag.
Thanks to all our supporters who helped make this possible. 🍎Thank you to Fred & friends at Green Bench Orchard! This year, our friends at Green Bench Orchard have been donating fresh fruits and 5% of all sales to our local Food Bank! Thank you!
