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.

Jonagold and Empire – a short apple primer
Friday, September 25th, 2009Just in time for our opening of PumpkinFest Saturday, September 26, we have plenty of Jonagold and Empire apples. Jonagold, for those of you not in the know, is a combination of Jonathan and Golden Delicious and great for eating and cooking.
Empire was developed from Red Delicious and Macintosh and is another versatile apple.
We still have some Honeycrisp and Gala on hand, so there’s plenty of variety for everyone.
What people will do for a Honeycrisp
Saturday, September 5th, 2009Got a call Friday from a longtime customer. Breathlessly she asked if we had any Honeycrisp apples, as she’s bought them from us before but seemed to miss them for the last couple of years.
I told her we had plenty for this weekend. She then said she’d be driving 114 miles to buy them. Sure enough this morning at 10:01, she pulled in and bought her bushel of Honeycrisp.
Before she left for the 114 miles to get home, she gave me a huge jar of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Dee lish us!
