2nds 'Enterprise' Apples on Sale

   We still have many harvested apples for sale.  Almost all 'Enterprise' apples are #2's (2nds) with cork spots due to a localized calcium deficiency, but we do have a few #1 'Enterprise' apples.  We'll have #2 'Enterprise' apples for sale until about March or April, whenever we sell out, and they're excellent for making apple pie filling, apple butter or other apple products.  We also have a few #2 'GoldRush' apples with rain cracks, and some #2 apples of some selections from my apple breeding program, excellent for blending in applesauce or apple butter.
   Our harvested #2 (2nds) apples sell for just $0.93 per pound + tax, so a 20-lb. box costs $18.60 + tax, which is $7.00 less than a box of #1 apples, including tax.  If you get 40 lbs. or more of #2 'Enterprise' apples, the price goes down to just $0.88 per pound + tax, so each 20-lb. box costs $17.59 + tax, and 40 lb. of #2 'Enterprise' apples costs just $35.18 + tax.

These #2 'Enterprise' apples are great for making apple pie filling, apple butter, applesauce, etc. Two of these 20-lb. boxes (40 lbs.) costs just $35.18 + tax.

   Small amounts of harvested #1 apples cost $1.30 per pound + tax.  I pack them in 20-lb. boxes, which I then weigh to exactly 20.0 lbs., so you save $1.00 if you buy a 20-lb. box of apples for $25.00 + tax.  You can get a 10-lb. bag each of 2 different apple varieties, and still get the 20-lb. discount.
   We have many #1 'GoldRush' apples, plus some #1 'Enterprise' apples and some #1 selections from my apple breeding program.  'GoldRush' apples keep well in our cooler or your fridge for 10 to 11 months, stay very crisp, and get sweeter in cold storage, as starches convert into sugars.

We have many #1 'GoldRush' apples such as these. They'll keep well in your fridge until Sept., staying crisp and get sweeter in cold storage.

  We still have harvested, cracked pecans for sale now until we sell out, probably in March or April, since less people come to buy them in Jan.  Our high-efficiency pecan cracking machine blows out most shell fragments, so our bags of cracked pecans contain over 75% nutmeats and less than 25% shell fragments.  Remaining shell fragments come off very easily, and many customers say they can pick out a 4-pound bag of our pecans in 15 minutes or less.
   We sell mixed selections from Bill's pecan breeding program in 4-pound bags.  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.  These are all large pecans with thin shells and great taste.  Each 4-lb. bag costs $16.67 + tax.
   We also now sell smaller, 1-pound bags of cracked 'Kanza' pecans.  These bags also contain at least 75% kernels, so you get at least 3/4 pound of nutmeats when you pick out the pecans. Each 1-lb. 'Kanza' bag costs $4.63 + tax.
   From Dec. 1 until May 31, we’re open by appointment.  Phone 620-597-2450 a day ahead and leave a message with your name, day and time you’ll come, and what you want to buy.  Then I'll be in the sales building when you come.  If you want to come that same day, call between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., when I'm still in the house where the phone rings, before I go out to the sales building to sort apples.
