Apple of our Eye


Hello Bramley, Cox Pippin, Cortland, Stayman Winesap, Jonagold, Rome, Cameo and Jonathon. We welcome the return of our faithful Fall friends! Let's spend the day together... strolling in the orchard, prepping in the kitchen, lovin' each other a bushel and a peck!

Yep- it's apple season, perfect as pie and for pie! And for eating... Nothin' like the crispy crunch of a Honeycrisp or McIntosh - fresh picked right from the tree. Y-U-M!

And does an apple a day really keep the doctor away? Seems so- Quercetin boosts memory and apples have been shown to prevent a cluster of illnesses. All research aside, we all know there's no such thing as an old wives tale so no need to prove what we all already know- we heart the big apple, the small apple, the lady apple, all yous apples! So happy it's the season!!
