What's Picking Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving just wouldn't be complete without a trip to the orchard. That's why we are open all three days of the long weekend! At Nature's Bounty, we love that so many families make apple picking a part of their annual fall tradition. This week and weekend offers some of the best selection for apples and pumpkins as nearly everything is ready for picking. Check out the list below for some of the top picks for this weekend.

• Ambrosia: Move over Honeycrisp, Ambrosia is back! One of the best eating apples of the season, we have plenty of Ambrosia available. 
• Northern Spy: Spies for Pies! The season's best baking apple is now available (pre-picked only) at the farm market through the week and the front gate this weekend.
• Gala: There are still Gala for picking and what's left has developed beautiful colour and incredible sweetness. Get them before they're gone.
• Jonagold: Those who know them love them. Jonagold are a sweet apple with stark contrast between green and bright red. 
• 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.
• Cortland: A popular choice for salads, fresh eating and baking, Cortland are a powerhouse in the kitchen. Their large size mean less peeling and coring, and the their texture is a welcome addition to a crisp or pie.

Also picking this week is the last of the McIntosh and Silken, as well as Golden Delicious, Macoun, Crispin (Mutsu), Crimson Crisp, Spartan, and Blondee. For your convenience, we will also be offering bagged McIntosh, Honeycrisp and Northern Spy apples at the cash.
