Calendar of Events at the Apple Patch
 The
Apple Patch opens after Labor Day every Fall and closes usually the week
of Halloween. We have no storage facilities; all varieties are
picked and sold as they mature. So due to seasonal variations we may
open or close a little bit earlier or later each year. |
