Our pick-your-own apple season is going strong. Many
'Enterprise' apples are ripe now, and more will ripen over the next
2 weeks. 'GoldRush' apples have just started to ripen, and more will be available for pick-your-own until
mid-Nov.

We'll still have 'Enterprise' apples for pick-your-own customers for the next
2 weeks, and harvested 'Enterprise' apples for sale for the next 6 months or so. |
We use plastic grocery sacks in different colors for
pick-your-own apples, and appreciate it if customers can bring some
clean, non-ripped, used bags. I have plenty of white bags, but am very low on
tan, yellow, gray and blue bags, so need those. Reusing is better for the environment
than recycling. Please also bring back any peach boxes or berry
containers you got from previous visits to Brenda's Berries &
Orchards, so we can reuse them. Thanks.

The Harrigan family had fun picking 'Enterprise' apples last week. Come in the next 12 days if you want to pick 'Enterprise' apples. |
We also have harvested 'Enterprise' apples, Coop 27, Coop 34, and
apple selections from my breeding program for sale now. All our
apple varieties are immune to apple scab disease, so we don't have
to spray for that disease, so we can put on 1/3 fewer fungicide
sprays than if we grew scab-susceptible apple varieties such as
'Jonathan' or 'Golden Delicious'. I give taste samples of all our
apple varieties.
For prices, scroll down two blog posts. For payment, we
accept cash or checks (from any state), but NO credit cards or debit
cards. We do not have a card reader or a phone line to the sales building. Please bring your checkbook or enough cash to cover the amount of apples you'll buy. Thanks.
From Sept. 1 to Nov. 30, as the sidebar at left says,
we're open our fall hours: Mon. to Sat.
8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. only. I'm usually
harvesting apples in the orchard, so I put a sign on the sales
building to ring the bell. Ring it loudly, once or twice, and I'll
hear it.
