Red are the apples
Gold are the mums
Come to the farm
And experience the charm!

 

Hello,

The fall dress is here, come and enjoy! At the Farm pumpkins of all sizes and kinds greet you all around; on the ground and the hayrack, and on tables, wagons, just about everywhere! The hayrack has a great scarecrow display. What a great photo shoot. There are also tables and chairs where you can sit a spell, relax, eat an apple, visit.

The trees are turning colors; gold, red, yellow, brown. The country experience At the Farm has a lot to offer! You can watch my chickens scratch the ground, stroll around, maybe pick at something good to eat. And listen to them 'talk' to each other and crow, of course! They have a rural charm all their own!

The picking is getting slim as the season is coming to an end. It's hard to believe how the time flies. As Jim Gilbert says, "One season slides into another." I just wish they would not slide this fast.

I sell apples by the pound, not the bag. So you can buy just one apple or any amount you would like. It's a great way to buy apples. And you can mix the varieties. They are all Minnesota Grown and excellent quality and flavor. I will also have seconds available for pies, sauces, apple butter or eating.
