Thanks to the folks at ABC Channel 7 and Steve
Dolinksy for a great story and photos of the orchard.
To see the piece, go to ABC Website, and
click the video link.
Apples are coming in...more
varieties
become available every week: Red Cortland,
McIntosh, Golden Supreme, Gala, Jonathan,
HoneyCrisp, Mutsu (First time), Jonagold (first
time) and possibly more.
Pears are great too. Variety in pears?
You
bet...the classic Bartlett's are tremendous, while we
have
giant Spartlett, an heirloom variety called Howell
(listed
on the Slow Food
Ark of Taste); that is a beautiful shape and has
a
mellow flavor. We will start harvesting a few asian
pear
varieties as well - almost a cross between an apple
and a
pear.
Don't forget special events coming up this week:
(Join us at the Chopping Block on September
20th -
for a class on Pears
and
we will be at the Lincoln Square Apple Fest on
September
17th - apples ).
Thanks! Your friends at Seedling

one of our markets.
