Our bakery patio is a new edition within the last few weeks and the music by No Turnin’ Back yesterday and Amanda Fahey today has been amazing!

HONEYCRISP ARE READY! 🍎🍎🍎

Honeycrisp are ready and available in our store and for Upick now. A lot of people have asked about different varieties like Cortland, Gala, Golden Supreme, etc -“Why do you wait so long?” Well, apples ripen at all different times. There are a lot of different factors that affect the ripening times of apples. We are very particular about when and what we pick. We’ve made the mistake of picking too early and the apples can be starchy, hard, and sometimes off in flavor. We don’t want to give our customers a sub-par apple, so we wait until they’re just right!

Apples available in store:
🍎HoneyCrisp
🍎McIntosh
🍎Paula Red (25% off!)
🍎Zestar - Seconds only @ $0.75/lb.

Apples available for Upick:
🍎Honeycrisp
