Missoula’s USDA Certified Organic orchard at 4701 South Ave. West. All picking from the ground, no ladders needed. I supply the bags, you do the picking.
Prices: $15 for 1/8th bushel bag, about 5-6 pounds, or 2 bags for $25.
$25 for 1/4th bushel bag, about 10-11 pounds.
I have a NUMBER of bags of half price “drop” apples, perfect for pies, sauce, juice or eating. Just let me know how much you are looking for.
I MAY HAVE bags of blemish apples for sauce or juice, lower quality than “drop”, for $25 per bushel. Ask about availability.
FARM STAND - The wind storms have put a lot of good apples on the ground. Bags of those “drops” are mostly perfect, great for processing or eating. They are half price, and will be available at the farm stand in the parking lot, daily 10 am to 5 pm. $15 for one large bag, or $25 for two large bags (1/2 bushel).
Cash, check or Venmo, I can’t take credit cards. 5% of ALL SALES TO MISSOULA FOOD BANK.
Honeycrisp, Wealthy and Goodland varieties PERFECT right now, other varieties will be ready later in the season. LOTS OF APPLES STILL on the trees, some at “kid level”!! Watch here for future open days and hours.
Thanks for supporting local farms in Missoula. Farmer Fred
