G. Pops Farm

Well, I have good news, good news, not so good news with attached good news!
1. We are adding several new bee hives this spring, to help with pollination and provide honey that we can actually have for sale at the orchard later this summer!
2. We are adding 25 new orchard trees this spring: more apples (Golden Delicious, Jonathon, Macintosh…, peaches, and 3 varieties of pears)!!! It will be a couple more years before they bear fruit, but it’s a start!
3. We will NOT be doing pumpkins at the farm this year. The only way to rid the fields of cockleburrs is to let it lay idle for a year, and use the wonder of chemistry to eradicate the plant population. However, we are planting 8 varieties of some miniature pumpkins at the orchard, so hopefully we can somewhat pacify your urging when you pick apples. We will get an early start on these minis using our new greenhouse, then transplant. We hope this works!
I got a little behind on the pruning getting hives ready, and I do appreciate all those that are picking up prunings for their smokers! More to come!

First off, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Pops and Mimi!
Long story, but one of our apple guest pickers this year came by our son’s house today and left this delightful tin of holiday goodies! Grandson Walter greeted the lady, but failed to get her name! Alas, no card attached; so if any of you out there might know of this kind gesture, please private message me or even refer in the comments.
We have told most of you that the orchard is a social event for us, and we celebrate, this week especially, all of you! Thank you all!

To our valued customers and friends: This weekend marks the final opportunity to visit G Pops for apple picking. We are pleased to announce that we have surpassed last year's sales at the same pricing. As a special offer, we are providing a 2 for 1 deal: two white peck bags for $15.00 or one peck bag for $10.00. Please note that I may not be present, and neither will Chester, our loyal guard dog. For payment, please use the cash mailbox or Venmo using the information provided on the picnic table.
Our top varieties, as pictured, include Enterprise, Granny Smith, and Arkansas Black. Additionally, we are offering complimentary buckeye seeds for children, which are believed to bring good luck for 30 years. That’s the buckeye! Children bring good luck forever!
