harvesting

so flavourful and opulent,
we have just started to pick...

mcgowen

sometimes called macoun, mcgowens are a honey sweet rich apple with hints of berry.
they are super crisp and juicy. goodbye honey crisp!
mcgowens are a cross of a mac and a jersey black.
 creamy tender white flesh makes them an excellent choice for sauce.

spartan

spartans are fabulous…. sweet, mellow and juicy. 
 the merlot of apples! everyone loves them! they are a cross of a mac and newton. 
a brilliant all purpose apple…often used in cider and also terrific for apple sauce and baking.

we still have macintosh and cortlands available for picking,
 and we also have them picked for you in our farm market.

  the leaves in the valley have just started to change.
 the farm is unbelievably picturesque at this time of year. don’t forget your camera!

farm hugs,
laura
