Arkansas Black and King Lusk apples are ready! Arkansas Black are the hardest apples we grow and are great keepers. King Lusk are a great eating apple and should be tried by fans of the Jonagold. We don’t grow many of these varieties, so get them while you can.
It’s time to get your apples and cider for the Halloween and fall parties. When we were kids, Mom always made us caramel apples rolled in nuts using Jonathan apples. Make a great punch by heating some of our fresh apple cider with cinnamon sticks and float thin-sliced apples on top. How many of you remember dunking for apples?
Fuji and Granny Smith apples are ready! Fujis are a sweet, crisp eating apple similar to Galas. Everyone knows the green, tart, crisp Granny Smith apples that are wonderful for cooking and dehydrating. They hold their shape in pies and as fried apples.

Muscadine Grapes–bronze and dark purple
Bronze Muscadine
Muscadine Grapes are native to the Southeastern United States. Because of their thick and strong skin, they are well adapted to hot and humid climates where other types of grapes don’t prosper. Muscadines are a local favorite for making wine, jam, and jellies. These grapes are noted for their high nutritional value.
Fresh Apple Cider
We make cider fresh several times a week from apples we grow here using my Dad’s secret blend of apples. No sugar or flavors added. Many customers buy extra jugs of cider to freeze. Just poor off some out of each jug to allow for freezing expansion. For parties and holidays, serve it warm in a punch bowl with cinnamon sticks and thinly-sliced apples floating on top. People will be convinced it is a special punch recipe.
