The Apple Hut

Good Monday Morning!!!!

We have been busy!! We spent the weekend planting our new baby trees. 650 of them!!! 4 new varieties in the mix. Keep in mind it takes 3ish years for good tree growth in order to be strong enough to hold up apples. Our new varieties will be Ludacrisp, Sweet Zinger, Evercrisp and Crispin. Now we must be patient while they grow!

We are in full bloom right now, which is a couple weeks early. We were at the beginning of bloom when we had the two nights of frost. Thankfully, we had very minimal damage, and we had absolutely no damage from the recent storms. We just have to make it thru the rest of the summer!

We have a lot of work to do between now and apple season. I guess it keeps us out of trouble! Lol

We are also very excited to work with Bushel & Pecks this fall! They will be making our apple sauce and apple butter for us with our apples and only our apples! I’ve always wanted to make it myself, but the canning license is very expensive, plus the fact that I don’t have a big enough kitchen at the Orchard. Time for another remodel??!!😜

I guess thats it for now! I’ll keep you all posted throughout the summer! Our plan to open will be around Labor Day as usual! Donut season will be here before you know it! 😉

Have a fabulous week!!
