THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VISITED THE ORCHARD THIS SEASON FOR CERTIFIED ORGANIC U-PICK RASPBERRIES AND APPLES! The last of the apples were purchased on Saturday. Here is the summary of the U-PICK harvest for the 2020 season: 920 pints of raspberries and just over 17,000 pounds of apples! Also 84 jars of honey from the honey bees that live at the orchard. Nice work all you pickers. In addition, the 5% of all sales contribution to Missoula Food Bank was over $1,300, and it included one day of raspberry harvest with all revenue going to the Missoula Food Bank. Thanks again for supporting local agriculture in Missoula. I'm already working on getting the orchard ready for next summer and fall. I have a couple of shopping bags of very small apples that might be OK for cider or sauce. Free, just let me know if you want one. Farmer Fred
Hope to see you enjoying the orchard and the fruit you harvest.
