What's Picking October 20/21

Much of the GTA got its first taste of winter this week with cold temperatures and a light dusting of snow. The frost hasn't affected the apple crop and we are still picking many varieties. As the season winds down, we hope to get as many apples off the trees as we can and expect our committed customers to be out in full force this weekend! Here's a guide to what's picking this weekend:
  • Ambrosia: We still have a bit of Ambrosia left but they won't last much longer.
  • Northern Spy: Spies for Pies! The classic baking apple is now available at the farm market and on the trees.
  • Empire: These crisp, juicy apples appear deep purple on the trees but polish to red when picked. Bursting with flavour, Empire can also be used for baking
  • Red Delicious: A perennial favourite, Red Delicious are best enjoyed freshly picked! Their impressive size and dark red colour are stunning.
  • Idared: This late season variety stores particularly well. Keep them in your cold room and bring them out in December. Their flavour mellows with time.
We have pre-picked Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Northern Spy, Ambrosia, Cortland and Russet available at the market. Also picking this week is the last of the Honeycrisp, Crimson Crisp, Red Delicious, Crispin (Mutsu), and Fuji! Ask us where to find them.
