Is the County line Orchard open for apple picking?

Posted on May 8th, 2010 by admin in apple picking | 2 Comments »

I was wondering if the county line orchard in Hobart, Indiana was open for apple picking. I know that they are open, but what I want to know if they are having apple picking available. It seems like a lot of apple orchards are closed early this season.

I beleive it closes the second week of november, my wife and I just went last week. Some of the attractions like the beehive, and petting zoo may already be closed though Im not sure of the maze.

Where is a good place to go apple and pumpkin picking in the Seattle/ Puget Sound area. It must be family friendly and no more then 45 minutes away from the Seattle area. We plan on going this weekend or next weekend.

If there is a corn maze that would be really cool!!!

Links would be awesome!

pumkin picking….a pumkin patch or garden.

apple picking technique

Posted on May 5th, 2010 by admin in apple picking | 7 Comments »

Ribston Pippin are supposed to be picked early October, but this is not always so. You must pick apples when they are ready, not when the book says. On 30th August we noticed they were falling freely and separating easily, so yesaterday and today picked the whole 20 trees, about 14 boxes of select fruit. The boxes are around 15kg, so thats about 11kg (23 pounds) per tree, which isn’t too bad. These apples weigh 8 or 9 to the kilo, so thats about90 decent apples per tree. As well as that there were about 6 boxes of decent quality fallers and marked apples that will juice for hard cider. You can use fallen apples for sweet (unfermented) cider as long as they are select, washed and you don’t have a lot of animals (for example geese, chickens or pigs) pooping in you orchard due to the risk of salmonella, E Coli 0157 or other potentially dangerous contamination. The risk is probably extremely trivial, but never exactly zero. Fermentation will certainly wipe out any such bugs, but there is a very small risk in unfermented aple huice, which is why I only use picked and washed fruit for juice I am offereing at markets.

Note the picking technique, these apples have a short stallk, this can be tricky as where you have two or three apples touching, if you twist one, the other 2 can fall off. Ideally use both hands to stop this. The classic picking technique is to palm the apple and gently lift or lever away from the angle its growing at, the stalk shjoudl separate withouit pulling off the rest of the fruit spur, whcih is bad as it can destroy next year’s fruit bud (remember the apple pickers in the film of ‘The Cider House Rules?’

many authorities say you should handle apples like eggs. Bruised apples will not store.

Is there a good place in mass to go apple picking?

Posted on May 5th, 2010 by admin in apple picking | 4 Comments »

Im trying to look for a apple picking spot on the internet,but i cant find one.

In eastern Mass I love Brooksby farms, it’s a little smaller than some but the atmosphere is awsome along with the little petting zoo, and the store where you can watch them make cider and by all sorts of naturallyl made products.
