Crop Report: First Taste of Fall

Hi everyone! Summer produce is in full swing, lots of great stuff to choose from. Peaches are winding down, be sure to get Ohio peaches while they last. Our chili pepper plants are going wild! Add some spice to your meals this week.

It's starting to feel like fall around here. Many of our September apples are almost ready to harvest. We've been busy this week picking early apple varieties, winter squash and pumpkins (is it already time for pumpkins again??)

We still have lots of delicious early apples available in our farm market, Honeycrisp, Ginger Gold, Zestar, Macoun, Red Free. Look for new varieties Saturday.

This will be the first weekend for u-pick apples! Here's a little info about our u-pick:

This weekend our u-pick variety is Jonathan.
U-pick bags are $20 (a full bag is about 10lbs.)
Visitors must purchase a u-pick bag before going back into the orchard.
U-pick times: Saturday 9am - 4pm & Sunday 11am - 4pm
Our orchard is only accessible by foot (less than 1/2 mile walk)

If you have any questions give us a call! (937) 767-2208

Macoun: Similar to McIntosh. Very crisp and juicy. Mildly tart with a honey sweetness. Excellent for eating. Good for salad and sauce.

Jonathan: Firm, crisp and juicy. Sweetly tart with a slight spicy aftertaste. Jonathan is a great all-purpose apple. They are known as a good pie apple as they hold their shape well.

Cortland: Crisp, juicy, and sweetly tart. Excellent for salads. A good all-purpose apple.

Gala: Crisp and juicy, semisweet. Great for eating out of hand and salads. Try paring with mild cheeses. (Weekend wine and cheese? Yes please!)
