First weekend of the season
After two farmers markets and one day of
pick-your-own business, we are finally into our apple
season! The cider has been fun to press, and we ran
out at our Saturday farmers market despite getting up
early that morning to press another batch. We will
have to make more on Friday to get ready for the
farmers markets next week. I have to say, it has been
great to have fresh cider around once again to drink
for ourselves, and our customers seem to be enjoying
it too. As for apple picking, we have been
disappointed with the apples on the trees - there are
plenty, but not the perfect apples we were hoping
for. Thus, we will be discounting pick-your-own
apples this season. Most of our customers have that
organic-food mindset that allows for some tolerance
of imperfect fruit, so hopefully you won't be too
disappointed if you come get some for yourself.
