Fresh Fruit Like It Was Meant To Be
The Crow Mountain Orchard salesroom is now open for the 2018 season.
We are open seven days a week from 8am-5pm.
We currently have yellow sweet peaches.
Call before you make the trip out to see us as we currently have limited quantities. 256-437-9254
Don’t wait to come to the orchard or one of the farmers markets to get your fall apples. The varieties come and go quickly.
This is what we currently have available in the orchard salesroom. Varieties available at the farmers markets may vary.
Fresh apple cider–made at the orchard every couple of days
Apple Varieties (We have limited quantities of several varieties due to smaller crops than usual. We also may sell out of a variety for the day. Please call the orchard to insure the variety you want is available before you come. 256-437-9254)
Jonagold apples are one of my favorite eating apples. They are crisp, juicy, and favored by people who like Honey Crisp. The Honey Crisp are all gone, but the Jonagold are a great apple.
We usually start making cider in mid-September when the fall apples get ripe. I will post it as soon as we have some.
Here is what we have at the orchard right now.
The farmers markets may not have all varieties and container size is limited. To learn what is available at the orchard before you come, please call the salesroom 8:00 to 5:00 at 256-437-9254.
The Indian Cling peaches and Early Gold apples are gone for the season.
Good news is that Pippin apples are ripe! Pippins are very large, green, ugly, tangy apples. Yep, that is true, but they are a favorite for many people who love them to cook with. They make great applesauce, apple butter, and pies. We also have customers who buy them for eating.
Pippin is one of the oldest original US varieties discovered in 1759 on Long Island. Thomas Jefferson grew it, and Benjamin Franklin shared it with the English royal court, causing it to become one of the first US apple exports to England. Dad loves the Pippin, and it has been in every orchard he and his family has planted since he was a young boy–and he is 88 now. Come to the orchard now to experience a true American heirloom apple.
We have only a few trees of Laura Red apples, so we have a small crop that won’t last long. I recommend that our Laura Red fans get them as soon as possible. Call the orchard at 256-437-9254 before you go.
Here is what is available at the orchard salesroom now.
The farmers markets may not have all varieties and container size is limited.
The good news is we still have freestone peaches, seedless grapes, Early Gold (June) apples, and pears. The bad news is that the nectarines are finished for the season.
