WHat's Picking October 3/4

3/10/2020

0 Comments

 
The cool fall weather has really set in now and the maple trees ablaze with bright hues of orange, red and yellow. You will certainly enjoy your drive through the countryside this weekend. As our early season apples finish up, our visitors will now enjoy a wide array of choices in the orchard. Late September and early October see the maturation of nearly ten varieties, with more still to come, just in time for Thanksgiving. 
  • Honeycrisp: now at their peak, Honeycrisp are still picking. This premium apple gushes with juice and has a suburb crunch. The prefect balance of sweet and just a little tart, the flavour of our Honeycrisp this year is off-the-charts delicious!
  • Gala: A perennial favourite and the most widely enjoyed apple in Ontario, we still have plenty of Gala to satisfy your sweet tooth. Firm and juicy, gala are a great snacking apple and are a welcome addition to an apple crisp.
  • Cortland: One of the best baking apples of the season, our Cortland supply has been quickly depleted. But fear not! We picked our own stock at their peak and have plenty of fresh, pre-picked Cortland for all of your baking needs. Available in the market.
  • Salish: A novel variety and one worthy of note! This is the first year where our Salish trees have produced a full crop. An excellent storage apple, these mild-flavoured apples will stay crispy and fresh for weeks.
  • Empire: the best apple for candy-apples! Their smaller size and bold flavour make this deep-red apple one of our favourites of the season.
Other varieties like Crimson Crisp, Macoun, Mutsu, Red Delicious and Golden Delicious are also available this weekend. We will begin picking Ambrosia, Golden Russet and Northern Spy very soon!
