Harvest Season

Posted on September 7, 2010 at 12:28 PM

 

The harvest season is well underway.   The honey has been extracted & the honey comb cut.   The Honeycrisp and Haralred, late season apples, are about ready to be picked here in northern Minnesota.   The last two years, we had the opportunity to offer our local community a taste of a variety of freshly picked Minnesota-grown apples.   As we continue to develop and experiment, we are excited for the surprises the future will bring like the addition of fall raspberries and a large hoop house to expand our growing season. Our U-pick pumpkin patch is open and with frost predicted for the weekend our Orange House (converted green house) is being made ready to protect a wide assortment of pumpkins.  Our U-pick flower garden has been delightful and cheery full of butterflies and other pollinators.   Weekends have been filled with laughter, energy, and happy smiles as guests visit the orchard bringing satisfaction to two tired but thankful “farmers” who have labored through the year in preparation for fall harvest.
