Your Farm Experience for Every Season
Pruning is over, and apple trees are blossoming.
The warm and dry winter certainly made it easier to prune the apple orchard this year, and we finished in record time. Good thing, too, because the very hot weather of recent weeks has gotten those apples to bloom pretty early. Over the next few weeks we must put our faith in Mother Nature and our bees to make certain we get good pollination. Somehow, it always seems to work out.
This year's Cut Your Own Flowers Garden is going to be more outlandish than ever. We've added a pizza style herb garden, with a slice of this and a slice of that. Stop by, and we'll show you.
In the meantime, we're hustling to clean up. The hot weather not only got the apples super-charged, but it seems every living thing – grass, weeds, shrubs – all are on steroids, so it's tricky to stay on top of it all in such a compressed time period.
We hope to see you this summer for delicious produce and in our Cut Your Own Flowers garden. While our first apple generally is ready for picking during the first week of August, who knows if they will be earlier this year. Sign up for our email list to learn what's ready when.
We hope you'll join the generations of folks who each year mark these special times with us at Ridgefield Farm.
All Picked Out!
Well, this season was terrific for apple picking at Ridgefield Farm. So good, in fact, you picked us out. Good thing we picked plenty ahead of you, because at the store we now have lots of Jonathan, Mutsu, Fuji, Stayman and Honeycrisp.
