We also still have many apples and pecans for sale. Just phone 620-597-2450 a day in advance, and leave a message on the answering machine saying your name and the day and approximate time you're coming to get them.
The phone rings in the house, and I check for messages when I come in from working in the orchards or sorting apples in the sales building. When the weather's nice it's especially important to call a day ahead, as I can't always see the driveway from some parts of the fruit plantings, and when I'm working on a tractor I can't hear vehicles come in if you just drop by.
'Natchez' blackberry canes have started blooming, and raspberry plants are blooming also. |
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 pack harvested apples into two plastic bags per box, so you can get a mixed box of one bag of each of two different varieties of apples, and still get the 20-lb. discount.
We have many harvested 2nds apples, great for baking or for making apple butter. Usually 90 to 95% of the fruit is still usable, but they're 69% the cost at $0.83 per pound + tax. A 20-lb. box of harvested 2nds apples costs just $15.74 + tax ($0.79 per pound + tax), which saves $8.00 off a 20-lb. box of #1 apples. If you get 40 lbs. of 2nds apples, the price goes down to just $0.74 per pound + tax ($14.82 + tax per 20-lb. box).
We also still have cracked 'Kanza' pecans for sale. 'Kanza' pecans are known for cracking out almost entirely in intact kernels, and our new high-efficiency pecan cracking machine cracks this variety so well that 2/3 of the shells are removed by the blower. The price for pecans is $15.28 per bag + tax. Each bag has the equivalent of 6 pounds of in-shell pecans, and when you pick them out, you get at least 3 pounds of nutmeats.
