For a Limited Time...

We are selling the cider in the 1 gallon size three (3) for the price of two (2).  This is for a limited time.  The cider freezes really well if you would like to have some for the holidays, warmed up for those cold winter days, or some random time prior to next fall. 

All you have to do is drink about a cup from each gallon that you want to freeze to give the cider room to expand while freezing.  When it is time to drink, put the frozen cider in the fridge to thaw out. Give the cider a good shake when it has thawed, and then it is ready to drink.

Regards,
A&M Farm

Happy Halloween!!

We hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween.  We sure had a happy one here on the farm and trick-or-treating in Fayetteville.  It was a bit chilly and wet, but it could have been much worse.

Thanks to all of you who came and visited us this fall.  Sorry the apple crop was in short supply, but mother nature can have her way when she wants.  Lets all pray for an actual winter this year and a nice spring next.  We don't need to have an extended fall like we did last winter.

We still have a few apples left to sell in the Apple House with 100% fresh apple cider, and home made grapevine Christmas trees (made to order).  We can also offer a variety of Watkins products and some Fall and Christmas themed gift items too.  If it is a grapevine Christmas tree you are looking for, please give us a call to put an order in.

Thanks again and we will see you soon,
A&M Farm

Happy Fall

What a wonderful Fall day today.  The Sun is shining with a gentle breeze and temperature is just right.  This is the perfect weather to jump in your car and come see us.

We can still offer Golden Delicious for you to pick-your-own.  There is a verity of apples to choose from in the Apple House too.  The tractor and wagon rides are running for your enjoyment Saturdays and Sundays 1pm - 6pm.

The tents are set up too.  The smaller tent has all the pumpkins and the larger tent has the new straw maze for the youngsters.  Come, stay awhile, and enjoy the our farm.

Thanks,
A&M Farm

Fall is Near!

The weather has been hot and humid the last few days, but the weather man says we are going to have some rain and a cool down soon after.  I don't know about you, but I am ready to Fall to arrive.

The Jonathon are being picked and we have them in the Apple House to sell.  We are allowing customers to pick their own Jonathon from the pick-your-own orchard too.  The Gala apples are still available along with some pears too.

I took a walk thru the pumpkin patch a couple days ago and saw a bunch on nice and orange pumpkins.  We will be picking those real soon to have the ready for Fall decoration and Halloween jack-o-lanterns.

A&M Farm

Strawberry Season is Closed

Thanks to all the patrons who came to visit us this great strawberry season.  Our patch has been picked over and the berries have been depleted.

Thanks again and we will see you soon.

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

Hello everyone!  We here at A&M Farm hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.  The weather was a bit warm but those temperatures are par for the "strawberry" course.

It looks like we should be in strawberries for the remainder of this week and thru next weekend.  Please give us a call to verify when you are making your plans.

Unfortunately, there will be no cherry crop this year.  The farrmers we purchase the cherries from had total crop loss this spring do to the weather.

Regards
