Welcome the Fall Season.

September is time to welcome in the fall season at G and S Orchards. On the farm we are picking Bartlett Pears and Early Apples, also Fall Raspberries, Blackberries and Late Blueberries. Soon the You Pick will be Open. You and your family are welcome to come out and pick Apples, Red and Yellow Raspberries, Blackberries and Late Blueberries. New this year at the You Pick is Potatoes. Actually they will be You Dig Potatoes. We are excited to see how that is received by our customers. Don’t forget Pumpkin Season in October.

Good luck with the first week back at school and see you soon!

Why is the You Pick closed?

The You Pick is closed for several reasons. Most families are busy with the last of the summer vacations. Parents and Children are spending time shopping and getting ready to go back to school. We need a chance to get ready for the pear and apple harvest season. And the fall crops need to ripen. So it is a good time for everyone to take a break. We will re-open Saturday September 10th with late Blueberries, Blackberries, Red & Yellow Raspberries, Apples and Potatoes. Pumpkins will be ready later in the month. In the mean time be sure to stop by the Farm Stand for all your seasonal produce needs. Call or e-mail to order baskets of peaches, pears, peppers and tomatoes for canning. See you soon!

Missed the Red Raspberries?

Don't despair they will be back. Fall Red Raspberries will be available for picking on the weekends in September along with Blackberries, late Blueberries, Potatoes, Apples and Pumpkins.

We had a great opening weekend for You Pick Sweet Cherries. Remember they will last several weeks so don't despair if you didn't make it out. They will just get better as they hang on the trees. Hope to see you soon.

The Sweet Cherry season has started.

We will start the You Pick Sweet Cherry season on Wednesday June 29th. 6 days later than last year but right on time in an average year. The Dark Sweet Cherries are always ready 1st. Followed by the White Sweet Cherries one week later. It is hard to predict how long the season will last. That depends on the weather over the next several weeks. If the nights warm up then the fruit will ripen faster and the sugars will build up. The fruit will be sweeter but they won't hang on the trees as long as if the nights stayed cool and delayed the ripening. If the rain holds off and doesn't come as often as it did in the spring the season should last at least 4 weeks. Remember our trees are dwarf so you don't need a ladder. All of the picking is from the ground. We hope to see you soon!
