Apples

The ripening dates shown are approximate. Weather conditions over the year can affect ripening and availability significantly. If you are driving some distance - like a lot of our loyal customers - it is best to call ahead to ensure your favorite peaches and apples are available. The quality is excellent and when you buy direct from the orchard you pay about 1/2 the price that grocery stores usually charge.
