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.
FINAL TWO DAYS OF APPLE PICKING FOR THIS SEASON! Because of the very cold temperatures forecast for later in the week, Monday & Tuesday, 1-2 PM will be the last days for apples this season. Thanks for all your support this year, it has been a record for production for us. I'll send out a summary at the end of the season. Farmer Fred
