yes there are plenty of apples left to pick!
apples and pumpkins and squash oh my!
granny smith apples are our last variety to pick.
you will still find plenty of other varieties too..
mutsu, jonagold, idared, empire, smoothie and russet apples are still available.
mark calls ours the blushing granny!
they are originally from australia and named after maria smith,
the woman who propagated them from a chance seedling.
one of the most tart, hard, and crisp apples on the farm…
a terrific apple for salads, or slipped into a grilled cheese sandwich.
they are a fabulous all purpose apple, baking well in tarts, crisps and pies.
ohh the choices…
we have lots of pumpkins with personality to take home!
…and so many types of squash!
the kids grew a test plot of specialty varieties this year.
they look like they are from a fairy tale!
we also have the regulars…
isn’t it lovely noticing all the changes in our valley?
autumn in the orchard is pretty special!
Any ambrosia left??
ReplyDeleteDo you have any job opportunities or apprenticeship programs available on or around your farm that aren’t just seasonal?
