Mid October 2012 Update 2

The 2012 apple harvest is now done! Overall it was quite a success and thanks to all those who came out and picked apples this year! But fear not, there’s still plenty to do for the rest of October on the farm. This weekend and next we will have our “NOT TOO CREEPY” HAYRIDES from 11am-4pm. This daytime ride with Halloween decorations, and a few ghouls who aren’t afraid of the sunlight, is perfect for young kids! PICK YOUR OWN PUMPKINS (hayride purchase required) will also be this weekend from 11am-4pm. Plenty of our own apples are available already picked as well as piles of pumpkins at the farm stand. We also have fall decorations, baked goods, fall vegetables such as potatoes and winter squashes, our own fresh pressed apple cider, and more. Now that a hard freeze has occured, it is the time to put your garden to rest for the winter. We have rye seed, straw for mulching and other gardening supplies as well. For those of you wondering, the Hallow-Lantern carved-pumpkin nighttime Hayride is cancelled for 2012 due to circumstances beyond our control - but you can check back next year for a possible reincarnation. Thank you for your support of local agriculture. ~CN Smith Farm
