​
Greetings to all you apple lovers-
 
Here’s what we've got going this week ….. Jonathans!! Yes, one of the more popular old time varieties…. some say they are sweet, some say they are tart, but everyone says they are good! Good for fresh eating, good for pies, good for sauce, and best of all, good for my bank account! We have quite a few Jonathan’s but they also go pretty quickly so if you want a ½ bushel or bushel, it’s best to reserve it ahead of time and we will hold it for you. But please don’t wait until the last hour to pick it up….if we run out of fruit and it is sitting there the last hour, it’s going to be sold.
 
Honeycrisp…. Honeycrisp week was last week…. now down to just a few so if you want them, get to the markets early or they will be gone, gone, gone!
 
Red Prince… same story as Honeycrisp, just have a few so they will be gone quickly….for those who got some last week, you love the large red sweet juiciness of them and we do too.
 
Will probably have some other odds and ends depending on the market but this is Jonathan week….they will be the featured variety. 
 
Hope to see you at one of the markets.

Greetings everyone, it has been a while since an update due to some medical issues. Hopefully I am getting past those and will be more regular on the updates. The brief update for this week, will have:
 

• Akane, which means “bright” in Japanese, a very floral and fragrant cross of Jonathan & Indo. Good for all uses, baking, fresh eating, sauce, cider. Prized by cider makers for its floral aroma. (See Haykin Family Cidery-Award Winning Akane Cider)

• Sansa, which is a cross of Akane & Gala, not as sweet as Gala, not as fragrant as Akane. Good for all uses.

• Gala, the sweet orange variety that is tasty and crisp.

• Honeycrisp, yes that Honeycrisp, the one everybody goes crazy over….no further explanation needed. We are just starting to pick Honeycrisp so be patient, there will be more to come.

• Italian Plums, also known as prune plums, slightly tart, great for baking, preserving and just eating.

See www.adamsapplecolorado.com for u-pick opportunities
 
I probably will not be at markets again this week, but the crew has it covered. Give us a call if you have any questions.
