Available This Week

AUGUST 2008

We have just finished picking  Williams Pride Apples.  We still have a limited amount available for sale.  This apple is our first apple of the season.  This apple achieves an attractive, glossy 75-90% darj-red to burgundy striping over a green-yellowback ground. This excellent quality dessert apple is full flavored, sweet tart and slightly spicy.  Stores up to 6 weeks in refrigerated storage. It makes excellent pies and a pink apple sauce when cooked with the peelings.  It is also just good for snacking.

We are currently picking Gala apples. These sweet, crisp apples have a creamy yellow  color with a red blush. Galas are all purpose and are ideal for salads, snacking and delicious made into a sauce.  We have many seconds available as 75% of our Gala crop has scab (only skin deep but nevertheless detracts from the apples beauty).  This condition was due to the very humid and rainy early summer rains when the apple was developing.  These apples when picked early will store through the winter months.

We also have a limited amount of Red Free apple.  It is one of the best eating early apples. The flesh is firm with good texture. The apple is Jonathan-like in appearance and flavor, but milder giving Redfree a niche in the early Jonathan market. Storage life is up to 2 months in cold storage.
