IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT THIS HARVEST SEASON:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will not be able to offer U-Pick apples this season. For this year, we will only be selling apples at the farmstand.
If you've been to the farm lately then you probably noticed that there are very few apples on the trees. The reason is that the apple buds suffered frost damage during the early morning hours of April 25 when the temperature dropped to 28 degrees. This is partially due to the warmer than usual winter and the early bloom. Consequently, there is very little fruit set on the McIntosh and Cortland varieties which are all located behind the farmstand.
The good news is that we do have some areas of the orchard that did not suffer this damage. We will still have our own Paula Reds, Ginger Gold, Mutsu, Honeycrisp and a few later varieties.
We will have Cortland, McIntosh and Macoun apples brought in from other local orchards available for purchase!
We need your support more than ever so please be sure to come buy your apples, honey, apple crisp and more from Sholan Farms. We’ll still have plenty stocked up in the farmstand for you to enjoy!
