Merry Christmas!!

Thanks to everyone who came to visit us this past year.  A&M Farm Orchards would not be what it is without you.  Merry Christmas and thank you!!

SALE!!

I guess we can get into the Black Friday festivities too.

We are running a sale on second, half bushels.  It is buy any two second half bushels and get the third second, half bushel for FREE.  The apples we have left are Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, JonaGold, Melrose, Winsap, and Jonathon.

We still are pressing fresh cider and have plenty for sale in the apple house.

See you soon!

Oh yeah, stay tuned for more up coming sales...

Another Harvest Update

We do have apples and cider in the Apple House for sale.  JonaGold, Golden Delicious, Melrose, and Stayman Winsap are few varieties we have left. The cider is still being pressed and is really fresh.  Also, did you know, that the apple cider will freeze really well.  We do this every year so we can have cider year around.  If you have freezer space, just drink off the top of the jug to give the cider room to expand, replace the lid loosely, and put in the freezer.  When you would like to drink the cider, place the jug in the refrigerator to thaw out for 24 hours or so, and then serve.  This is a great way to keep cider for those special occasions.

The pick-your-own apples has dwindled down.  The pick-your-own season was another good one this year.  The weather was mostly good and not too cold.  We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and we can't wait to see you all next year.

Regards,
A&M Farm, Orchard

Harvest Update

It has been a couple of weeks...

We have all varieties of apples available in the Apple house:
Fuji, Red Delicious  Golden Delicious, Melrose, Granny Smith, JonaGold, Jonathon, Mutsu, Empire, and Winesap.

The Cider is being pressed almost daily and tasting real good.

We have plenty of pumpkins and gourds to take care of you Fall and Halloween needs.

I thought I would post some pictures of our latest additions to the Farm enjoying the evening meal.
Meet Jake (near), Frank ( middle), and Spot (far).

What A Great...

Time of year!  Fall finally here.

Leaves are changing, crops are being harvested, and the evenings are getting cool.  This great!

It looks like another great weekend is upon us and what a great time to come out to the farm.  We have the wagon rides every Saturday and Sunday afternoon taking people out to the pick-your-own apples.  We have available to pick: Grimes Golden, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Melrose and Jonathon.  The apples we have picked and ready to buy in the Apple House are: Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Jonathon, Early Blaze, and Fuji.  The cooler is stocked with great tasting Cider too!

The red and white tent is full of pumpkins for you to choose from.  The pick-your-own pumpkin patch also has a lot of great looking pumpkins too.

See you soon...
A&M Farm

OK, It's Official...

We are starting the wagon rides Saturday 9/21 from 1-5p.  They will run every Saturday and Sunday 1-5p from now until Halloween.  Come, bring the kids, grand-kids, mom, dad...whoever and spend a nice fall day with us picking your own apples and pumpkins.

See you soon!
A&M Farm

Wagon Rides

I kind of jumped the gun for the tractor pulled wagon ride this weekend.  Due to the apples not being just right for picking, we will postpone for at least another weekend...(9/21, 9/22).  Sorry for any inconvenience.

As stated before, we do have a couple varieties in the pick-your-own orchard ready for you to pick...Grimes Golden and Jonathan.

Thanks,
A&M Farm

Fall is Near!

It looks like this weekend is going to be a real nice weekend.  The weather looks to be going to be giving us a break from this late Summer heat.

We are going to start up the tractor pulled wagon rides this weekend.  The apples are being picked, sorted, and set out for sale in the Apple House.  We are allowing some of the varieties that are ripe to be picked by the customers.  The apples ready are Grimes Golden, Jonathon, Gala, and there is some Early Blaze.

Cider is still a week or two away.  We are waiting to get enough of the right mixture of apple to start pressing cider.

Hope to see you soon!

Pick-Your-Own Update

The Early Blaze apples have been picked out, but we still have many in the apple house for sale.

Strawberry Season has Closed

Thanks to all our patrons for another great strawberry season.  This year was just about one of our better years.  Everything came together at all the right times...blooms with no frost, rain at the right times, and plenty of the customers to come and pick the wonderful berries.  Thanks again and we will see you soon.
Please check back soon for information on the Pennsylvania peaches.  It looks like mid August for our shipment. Say tuned...

Just to let everyone know that we are close to winding down for strawberries.  There still are berries to be picked, but the berries are getting few.  Please give us a call before you come to see us to make sure we are still picking.

Happy Spring

Spring is in the air!  It has been a good long winter and hopefully spring and summer will turn out as they should for a good apple crop this year.
