We love to share our warm fireplace and beautiful snowy scenery. Yes, the peaches, sweet corn and pumpkins are long gone, but good crisp apples, sweet cider and freshly baked pies are still waiting for you.

Good Crisp Apples in February?
|
|
|
|
Yes! Due to CA (Controlled Atmosphere) storage we are able to keep our apples as crisp as the day they were picked year round. In fact some apples, such as Fugi and Goldrush, are at their peak during the winter months.
Let us help you with advice and samples to find the most crisp and full flavored apples.
The CA process forces the ripening gases (oxygen and ethylene) out of the cooler, thus preventing the ripening process from breaking down the carbohydrates into sugar. Shipping is available with our CA apples.

March is Tree Tappin' Time – Our Own Maple Syrup
|
|
|
|
Late February and March brings us into the woods to tap those maple trees. We gather the sweet sap on a warm day following a freezing cold night, and finally boil it until the water has evaporated, leaving the delightful syrup for us to savor. How much maple syrup is made each year is totally dependent on the weather. We love to have you watch so look for the steam from our sugarhouse at 8765 Mulberry Road.
When remembering friends and family, consider sending them the natural gift of Geauga County - pure maple syrup.
