​Great to see everyone last week at the various Farmers’ Markets! We very much appreciate your business. As is the norm, we are a little short of supply and variety this early in the season but don’t worry, in a couple of weeks we will have plenty of volume….we get anxious to get started…and so do you, which is a GOOD thing.
 
This week will have 3 varieties:

• Ginger Gold - the large green/yellow variety that is a balance of sweet and tart, crisp and tasty, great for salads, sauce or fresh eating

 

• Williams Pride - a good sized red apple that is also a balance of sweet and tart but leans more toward the sweet side than Ginger Gold (which leans toward tart) 

 

• Sansa - an orange-red sweet variety that is a cross of Akane and Gala, great for fresh eating and sauce though they tend to be a medium to small apple. Some years they have a stronger Gala tendency, other years a stronger Akane influence.  I suppose it has to do with growing conditions of that particular year. This year my taste buds say stronger on the Gala flavor. 

 

• May have just a handful of some other stuff….such as Summer Rambo, not a tough apple as the name might suggest.

 
Mike & Will who purchased our U-pick orchard/country store (Adams Apple Orchard) are likely opening this week. Check out their website: www.adamsapplecolorado.com.  
 
Looking forward to seeing you at the markets this weekend (Greeley, Fort Collins, Longmont & Boulder). We will also be at the Loveland market this Sunday.
