Welcome to Candy Apple Orchard's web site ... The apples are starting to
show a nice size aided by the thinning that was done in June. The warmer temperatures are a challenge in making sure that the irrigation pipes are
moved on a good rotation. We have a good crew from the neighborhood helping with this project! So we have trees full of apples that we expect will ripen and be ready for a great
fall season!

Our orchard has a variety of trees including Red Delicious, Golden
Delicious and Rome Beauties. The Golden Delicious have a very good flavor and make a
great applesauce and dried apples. Red Delicious, one of the most famous American varieties, are wonderful
in Waldorf Salad. The Rome apples are a firm, slightly tart apple that are great for applesauce, caramel apples,
apple pies, apple dumplings, baked apples, and apple crisps. All three are a good eating apple depending on your preference
and are much better picked from the tree than from the grocery store. All varieties are 85 cents per pound.

During October, our orchard store is stocked with local pressed apple cider, apple
butter, fruit salsa, jams, take and bake apple pies, and an assortment of apple related items. Our goal is to make your visit to our orchard a family adventure that you will
want to repeat every year as some of our guests already do. Hope to see you this fall!
