Today started our winter & spring hours. From Dec. 1 to May 31, as the sidebar at left says, we're open by
appointment. That means, during Dec. to May, to phone 620-597-2450 a
day ahead and leave a message on the answering machine with your name,
the crops you want, and the day and time you're coming. The phone rings
in the house, and I'll get your message when I come in from working in
the orchard or
the sales
building. Then I'll meet you in the sales
building when you arrive here.

| Our winter & spring hours, by appointment, began today and go until May 31. |
We have many harvested 'Enterprise' and 'GoldRush'
apples for sale now and for the next 7 months or so, until late
June. Small amounts of harvested apples cost $1.20 per pound
+ tax. A 20-lb. box of apples costs $23.15 + tax,
which
saves $1.00 off the per-pound price. I sort apples
into two plastic bags per box, so you can get a mixed box of one bag
each of 'Enterprise' and 'GoldRush' apples, and still get the 20-lb.
discount.

| A mixed box of one bag
each of 'Enterprise' (left) and 'GoldRush' (right) apples is very popular. |
We also have many harvested 2nds apples, with small cracks or hail damage, great for
baking or for making applesauce or apple butter. Usually 90% to 98% of
the fruit is still usable, but they're 69% the cost at $0.83 per pound +
tax for less than 20 pounds and $0.79 per pound +
tax for 20 pounds or more of harvested 2nds apples.
Pecans cost
$15.28 + tax per 4-pound bag. These pecan bags contain at least 75% pecan kernels, so you get the equivalent of at least 6 pounds of in-shell pecans in
each bag. These pecans are very fast and easy for customers to pick out, and when you pick out the pecans, you get at least 3 pounds of nutmeats.
 |
| The pecans we're selling now, from Bill's pecan breeding program, are large, papershell pecans. |
For payment, we accept cash or checks, but NO credit cards or debit
cards. Please bring your checkbook or enough cash to cover the amount
of apples and pecans you'll buy. Thanks.
