We currently have apples, yellow and white peaches, nectarines, and seedless grapes available at the orchard. Please call for availability between 8am-5 pm before you come, 256-437-9254. If we are busy, we may run out of something for the day. We are also getting near to the end of the peaches for the season, so get them while you can.
What we sell at the farmers markets may vary due to availability of fruit when we load the trucks, and limited space on our trucks. If some particular fruit or size isn’t available at your local farmers market, please visit the orchard salesroom for the widest selection of fruit and container sizes. Our farmers market schedule and market locations are available on our website.

The Honeycrisp will be available any day. I will post it as soon as they are for sale.
Which apple are best for making apple butter?
We have had customers swear by any number of varieties. My favorite is Jonathan apples, but also good are Pippins, Winesap, and Granny Smith. We currently have Jonathans and Pippins. Pick a flavorful, tart apple. You can also use a combination of varieties, particularly if you have bought more than you can eat and want to use them up. 🙂
