TGIF!!!!!

Yay for Fridays!!! The weather is going to be wonderful this weekend! Come on out and enjoy!

We still have mums, pumpkins and squash. Apple varieties are Ida Red, Yellow Delicious, Jonagold and Pink Lady. These are the last varieties we will have as everything is picked for the season. We are not sure how long we will be open. We will know more after the weekend. IF we do close early we will still honor orders that have already been placed so don’t worry about that! Any gift certificates will be honored next year if they haven’t been used. So, stay tuned.

Don’t forget that the c***r and donuts freeze very nicely, so stock up on them for the winter ❄️⛄️. We still have soup mixes and bread mixes for those cold days ahead. 🥶Caramel apples, breads and pies are still plentiful!

Come on out and enjoy fresh, warm/hot donuts and some hot c***r!

See you soon!

How about this weather!!!! It’s amazing!!

Apple update for the week.
Ida Red and Jonagold in house now. Yellow Delicious by Friday and Pink Lady Saturday. Those will be the last varieties for the season. How long will they last???? Depends on traffic this weekend. The big question is, how long will we be open? We don’t really know for sure at this point. We will give it through this coming weekend before we make a decision. As you all know I’ve mentioned so many times how small our crop is. It has been very challenging to predict when we would pick, how much was out there and how much of it was worth selling or sent off to be c***r….so many variables this year.

We still have all of our other goodies in the store. Donuts, turnovers, caramel apples, jams, jellies, soups mixes, salsas and organic blue chips, breads, lots of pies, lots of c***r and everything freezes great!  we still have Mums on hand and lots of pumpkins and squash!

The weather is supposed to stay fabulous, so come on out and enjoy some hot c***r and donuts. We have plenty of picnic tables and our deck has seating as well.

See you soon!!

Holy cow! What is that thing shining through the trees?!! it’s about time that sun comes out. It’s supposed to be beautiful for the next several days.

Apple update!! Please read carefully. We are finally able to get back out and pick so they are picking Jonagolds this morning and a few Ida Reds so those will be available this afternoon. Will probably have more empires tomorrow. We’ll see what they look like when they’re picked.  we will pick yellow delicious and the rest of the Ida reds next week Tuesday. Pink ladies still need to hang for a few days so I’m keeping my eye on those.

It’s supposed to be in the 60s and sunny this weekend so come out for some warm donuts and hot c***r and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. My pumpkin fairy showed up last night. So we have a fresh load of pumpkins and Mums for your fall decorations.

We’ve been busy in the kitchen, keeping turnovers stocked and caramel apples and bread and bars, and all that fun stuff. 

We still have a good supply of local Honey, jams and jellies. and you should probably stock up on some of those soups and bread mixes for the cold winter days ahead!

We have a great supply of pies so stock up on those for the holidays! 🥧 And remember that c***r freezes great!

So, I guess I better get back to
Work!!

So, we had a little change in picking schedule. Macouns will be available tomorrow, Wednesday, not today. We do have empires available right now. We may have some Haralson ready later today. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and Thursday so we will not pick anything else until Friday weather permitting. I will keep you updated on that. Sure hope that made sense. Remember to call the Orchard for all inquiries 608-362-1961.

It is a beautiful day, so come on out and enjoy the great weather while it’s here!!@

Has this weather been absolutely fantastic or what!! Hope you are all getting your yard work done, and when you’re done with yours you can do mine! Hahahaa!

Apple update!

As of right now, the only varieties in house are Empire and a few Jonathan’s. We will be picking more empire tomorrow, as well as Macouns. We may have a few Fuji. There aren’t very many and not sure what kind of shape they are in. Sometimes they look great until you pick them. They are a sweeter apple and yellow jackets have really been loving our sweet apples….little stinkers. So we’ll see how they pan out. We still have Ida Red, Yellow Delicious, Jonagold, Haralson and Pink Lady’s to pick! Not 100% sure when that will happen. Best guess could be next week sometime. I will be checking them on a daily basis. These super cool nights and warm sunny days will move them along. Always call the store for availability. 608-362-1961.

We will continue to have all of our baked goods, caramel apples, pies, and jams, salsas, local honey, soup and bread mixes etc, etc. And don’t forget about Fritz’s Famous Donuts!

Come on out and enjoy this beautiful weather and relax on our front deck or choose a spot at a picnic table under the shade of a tent.

I almost forgot…..pumpkins and squash are here!! And we still have a nice supply of mums!

Have a fabulous week!

Stay tuned for the other varieties. As I mentioned, I’m checking them daily. The weather finally feels like fall!! The cooler the better!

Have a fabulous day!!

Good Monday morning!

As I sit here and drink my morning cup of coffee, I am recapping this last weekend in my mind. What a whirlwind! We didn’t anticipate the traffic that we had on Saturday. We really thought we would be dead in the water, literally! It poured all morning yet our parking lot was full all day. You have no idea how much we appreciate your visits. It really warms our hearts.  And you all have been so understanding with our Apple situation. I sure wish I could change it, but there isn’t anything I can do about it. The trees are already loaded with next year’s buds, which grow all summer long for next year’s crop. So provided we can get through the spring without a frost, we should have a really, really nice crop. We are already looking forward to that.

The apple update for this week is as follows: please read carefully. Honeycrisp are disappearing fast. We are down to a few peck bags of good ones, but we still have quite a few bags of seconds…the flawed ones. They lasted a whomping 3 days in house. They did not do well at all this year. Not only was the yield WAY down, so many of them were damaged by the yellow jackets, which means they either went for c***r (if the wound was small enough) or they we’re literally throw aways ( the wound rotted half the apple). The yellow jackets have been really bad this year. We hope to pick Snow Sweet, Empire, Jonathan and MAYBE Macouns to have ready for the weekend. If they get them picked here in the next couple days, I will post, as I check those little buggers everyday for ripeness. Can’t pick them if they aren’t ready, and they are soooo close. The weather looks good for the rest of the week and these cool nights really move them along. The late apples are looking real good. So far the yellow jackets have stayed away from them. Late varieties (which Normally don’t get picked until mid October, will be early as well) are Ida Red, Jonagold, Haralson, Pink Lady’s and Yellow Delicious. Yellow apples get a bad rap. They are so good! Crunchy and sweet, not like the grocery store. If you’ve never had a fresh Yellow Delicious, you’re missing out!

Well, I think that’s all I have for this morning. As I said, I will post as we pick. Please share this, as I know Facebook picks and chooses who sees posts.

Again, you all have no idea how much we appreciate you! Your kind words of encouragement keep us going! THANK YOU!!

Your Apple Hut Crew

Just a heads up on the snow sweet situation. We got rained out today and they are not picking on Friday so snow sweets will not be available until next Tuesday. If it’s not raining Monday, they will get picked. If for some reason it rains, because we’re supposed to have crummy weather for like the next week, we won’t be picking. I will repost with an update. I cannot take orders for them. First come first serve. Stay tuned!!
