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. |

Sept. 10: Apple Patch opens, MacIntosh are ready for pies. Small crop in 2011. Sept. 17: What McIntosh we have will be sweeter. But we'll need less rain and more sunshine. Sept. 24: Haralsons may be ready (and tart). Jonalicious will probably have to wait a week. Deer are eating everything that falls on the ground. |

Oct. 1: Red Delicious are starting. Doubt if MacIntosh are still available. Oct. 8: Now picking big, fat Golden Delicious. Cortland and Haralson available. Oct. 11: Closed for family birthday. Oct. 15: Still some Golden Delicious. and Winter Banana are ready. Northern Spy are starting. Oct. 22: Harvesting Roxbury Russet and Northern Spy. Some Rome Beauty are ready. Winter Banana, Golden Delicious, and Haralson will still be hanging on if no one has picked them. Oct. 29: Last of the Rome Beauty and Northern Spy. The Arkansas Black won't probably be edible until we officially close. |
