The 2024 apple growing season has been another disappointing year for our farm. We had bud break on April 1st (8 weeks too early). After the trees started growing, it got down to 21 degrees which killed a high
percentage of the flower buds. When the few blosooms that did survive opened, it rained for 10 days so pollination was very poor. Then we have had a spring and summer of extremes - continuously wet soil and record high temperatures.
Then we had two hail storms. Despite all of mother nature's wrath, we do have some apples but not enough for to open our orchards for U-Pick. Instead, we will have pick-your-own apples out of the bins
in our farm market as well as fresh pressed cider & donuts and apple pies. We are just as disappointed as you are and hope you will check back next year. We haven't had a normal apple crop in 8 years - but maybe next
year. Until then, we will have all of our fresh picked
apples available in our farm market open from 12pm to 6pm everyday until October 31, 2024.
