Sunday brought far more of you up the hill than we planned for, and by the end of the day essentially all of the ripe fruit had been picked. That is a wonderful problem to have, and we are grateful for it. But it means there is not enough ready fruit to open tomorrow.
WE ARE CLOSED LABOR DAY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. The orchard and the farm stand are both closed. If you were planning to come up, please don't make the drive.
We are sorry. We know some of you had the day set aside, and we would rather tell you tonight than have you find a locked gate in the morning.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
There are plenty of apples still on the trees, growing and coloring up. They simply need more time. We are walking the rows and checking them every day.
Wednesday, September 9 — we will announce whether we open the weekend of September 12 and 13, but we will not be open Fridays this season.
Monday, September 14 — we will confirm the weekend of September 19 and 20. We will be open that weekend.
