There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh-baked apple goodies—and at Gottenborg Apple Orchard, our baked goods start with apples grown right here in our own orchard.

Our apple pies and apple crisp are made using apples such as Zestar and First Kiss, picked at the peak of the season for great flavor and texture.

We also use our Haralson apples in some of our other favorites, including apple cookies, apple bread, and small apple cakes. Haralson’s tart, distinctive flavor makes these baked goods extra special.

The trellis poles highlighted in my last post are now wired up and supporting bearing trees. Since then, I’ve also extended the fence boundary and planted approximately 600 additional trees, primarily Sweetango, Honeycrisp, and First Kiss.

The weather during blossom was just about perfect, which meant some varieties needed thinning. The result has been an excellent crop—I have to look hard to find any blemishes on the apples.

Looking ahead, the orchard in Audubon will open the weekend of August 29–30 and then continue every weekend throughout the season. I’ll also make my first appearance of the year at the Red River Market in downtown Fargo on Saturday, August 29. In past years, I’ve started the market season with Zestar! apples. This year, I’ll also have First Kiss (RAVE) available.

Be sure to mark your calendars for Applefest on Saturday, September 19, at the orchard in Audubon. We’ll have live music from Duly Noted Acoustic Duo from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and our friend Steve from Goodrich, ND, will once again be serving his delicious smoked pulled pork sandwiches.

We’re looking forward to another great apple season and hope to see you at the orchard or the market!
