Hey there Galarina! A French offspring of Gala and Querina, this little apple has a crisp, sweet flavor with a refreshing astringent quality that makes for an outstanding fresh-eating experience. The Galarina holds flavor well throughout the year in storage, so find some in a produce section near you! 🍎 .

One of the many reasons it’s so important for us to treat the environment right while we grow fruit is so that our orchard can continue to be a home for many of the local inhabitants. We strive to be careful stewards of the land, taking every step we can so that this place may be a livable home for many years to come. That’s why we have ecologically-certified fruits, and why we choose methods to mitigate potential pests other than just spraying chemicals everywhere. (For more information in what an Eco certification means, visit our website).

Hard to believe that we are only weeks away from these rows bursting with fruit! Raspberry season is truly one of the highlights of summer. For up-to-date information on what fruit is ripe, be sure to check out the PYO page on our website (link in bio)

Spring means mud, but it also means plenty of rain to keep our trees happy and healthy as they work hard to grow their fruits. I’m just a few short weeks, Cherries will grace is with their presence and then we will be drowning in fruit. Can you wait? We can’t. 🌳 🚜 🌳

Hey there Spymac. This massive, majestic beauty is a cross between the beloved McIntosh and historic Northern Spy, and we claim the credit for its creation! The flavor is truly incredible: melon dusted with a little light citrus and a hint of vinous in the finish. This apple has excellent keeping quality, making it a perfect apple choice as we head into June. Get some while they last, or be cursed to wait until next October when they ripen again. 🍎

Blossoming Apple Trees.

The J Crew has been hard at work planting new seedlings in our nursery. These small trees will grow into strong saplings and in a few years be replanted into the main orchard. Needless to say, these guys enjoy their job!🌳

Meet the Mutsu Apple! Also known as Crispin in the US, the Mutsu apple was introduced in 1948 and is a cross between the 'Golden Delicious' and the 'Indo' apple cultivars first grown in The Mutsu province of Japan. The flesh is complex and juicy with a sweet-tart flavor that has subtle hints of spice. An excellent keeper, the Mutsu apple will take on an even sweeter flavor in cold storage. We still have these giant apples, so track one down at your local co-op and possibly feed a small village, or just make yourself a pie. 🍏 .

Sweet sweet Dave! If you’ve ever tasted our sweet cider and thoroughly enjoyed yourself, you have this man to thank. Affectionately known as Sweet Dave, this gentleman has been with us for 7 years (!) keeping our Apple press humming year-round. Unfortunately, he is soon off to greener pastures and we are truly devastated to see him go. You’ve done us good, Dave. (And don’t worry, he trained his replacement very well).

Some big changes happened this last winter. We replaced a lot of the older, less productive trees that were difficult to harvest with high-density plantings. The hillside looks very different now and we can’t wait for these trees to grow up!
