Our customers come to our orchard to pick their own apples and have a choice of 14 varieties to choose from. . . . starting in late July, the LODI is ready to be picked for great applesauce and pies. Our early August apples include JERSEY MAC, EARLY BLAZE, and DUTCHESS. In the middle of September you can start picking McINTOSH, GALA, and JONATHAN. When October arrives we start picking EMPIRE, GOLDEN DELICIOUS, JONAGOLD and BLUSHING GOLDEN. Late in October we still have RED DELICIOUS, BRAEBURN and WINESAP. The message on our answering machine gives up-to-date picking information. 815-338-7443. Give us a call and we will send you a calendar of "picking dates". It gives our estimated ripening dates and our favorite ways to use our apples. "Hope we see you!"
We sell gift boxes with a dozen of our best apples and gift baskets which include our own honey, beeswax candles and our very own chocolate mint tea.
