hello sweet october…
most of our apples available in october are on the sweet side.
crisp, juicy and aromatic…they taste like autumn!
oh won’t wearing a favourite sweater feel luxurious after our exceptionally warm september?
we still have our macintosh, cortland, and mcgowen apples available for picking.
last sunday we started our jonagold and smoothie harvest.
this weekend we will start picking our golden delicious and red delicious too.
jona gold
a lovely sweet apple with a nice balance of tartness.
these are such an excellent snack,
and their generous size makes them easy to share.
add a slice to your grilled cheese sandwich!
they also make a wonderful pie!
jonagolds will store for a couple of months in your fridge.
smoothie
don't you just love the name?
these are one of the sweeter varieties available this weekend.
so similar to our golden delicious, they are mellow and juicy
and even more sweet after another week to ripen.
use them anywhere you would use a golden delicious.
a slice with a smear of almond butter makes a quick, satisfying snack.
red delicious
probably the most recognized apple anywhere,
with the cute signature bumps on the bottom.
another one for all you sweet apple lovers.
these are best eaten fresh...
one of the only apples we grow that is not well suited for baking.

red delicious benefit from storing as their flavour intensifies.
did you know they are perfect to decorate with?
their gorgeous skin remains lovely for a long time.
i have nestled them in outdoor floral arrangements
amongst greenery and berries and birch bark.

golden delicious
oh these are so fabulous…
sweet and mellow with beautiful creamy flesh.
you don’t even have to peel them if you are making a pie
or apple sauce because their skin is so thin.

i love to use these in a tart or galette because they keep their shape well.
a little sugar and a tablespoon or two of cold butter dollops
sprinkled on top before baking is all you need!

have you visited our adorable little café down at the river yet?
riversong, birds and the crickets will serenade you while you enjoy a cup of fresh cider.
we are also offering coffee, an assortment of teas, and fresh baked cookies.
it is so special to be on the credit river.
the view is dreamy!
we are waiting for the salmon to join us again.
it is quite a sight to see them swimming their final spawning journey.
last year our guests enjoyed watching the salmon run
in early october for a couple of weekends.
