Welcome to Candy Apple Orchard's web site ... We have a good
crop of apples this year and are still busy with our u-pick season!! The couple of cold nights has sweetened the apples, fortunately
we haven't had any hard freeze as yet. A five-year project to have local apple cider to sell has finally
paid off! Williams Fruit Ranch, in Emmett, had a mobile juicing wagon come from Montana and were able to press apples
for cider on Monday, October 16. We are excited to have gallons and half-gallons for sale here at Candy Apple Orchard.
Our
hours are Sunday through Fridays from 9:30 am - 5:30 pm; we are closed on Saturdays. If you wish to come at a later time later than 5:30 pm, call ahead and we can make special
arrangements. Come welcome fall with a visit to our orchard. We have orchard
buckets that you can use for picking, but be sure to bring containers to carry your havest home.
We are hoping you will plan to join us! Carol & Burton

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.

already do!
