Well the fall is upon us and there are so many great things coming off of the trees and in from the fields!! We have been digging our potatoes when the weather is nice and the crop has been pretty good this year. It is actually pretty neat to look back at the previous posts and see when we planted the potatoes and what you get from the ground in the fall. It’s not always a given that your going to have success but this year so far so good.
We have also been picking our apples from the trees! We have MacIntosh and Cortland apples and everyone’s new favorite Honey Crisp! Honey Crisp have become the most popular apple ever I think and they are so good. They do live up to their name! Sweet and crunchy! They don’t last long though, because once they are gone that’s it until next year, so make sure you get out to the farm and pick up a bushel. A basket won’t make it through the weekend.
I should say that the Cortlands and Macs are great this time of year too. The Macs are still nice and crispy and the Cortlands are sweet and juicy! We will be picking other apples in the coming weeks including Empire, Spartan, Red and Golden Delicious, Spys, Fuji, Ambrosia, Royal Gala and Red Rhone. So needless to say we will be busy in the coming weeks.
We are also getting ready for the Thanksgiving weekend. All of our bakers will be busy in the kitchen baking up pies, butter tarts, cookies and breads for you to take home to your family and friends for your big dinner. But keep in mind it is a good idea to place an order for your baked goods that weekend because we tend to sell out quickly, so just give us a call at the store at 905-655-4123 and we will be happy to set something aside for you.
We Hope to see you out at the farm sometime this fall, bring the family or a call full of friends for a nice drive in the country. The leave are already stating to change, can you believe it?!
