Just 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.
Got 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!
