Cider and poultry and weddings! Oh, my!

Harvest time is such a busy time on the farm (kind of a "duh", right?!).  The pear and apple crops were so abundant this year.  Last year, it was all we could do to squeeze barely 50 gallons out of every, single last sorry-excuse-for-an apple we had.  This year, Milan spent yesterday pressing about 6 cart loads of apples that he easily harvested by hand, without a ladder.  His harvest didn't even make a dent in the loads on two trees (we have somewhere around a dozen mature, producing apple trees and six mature pear trees on the farm)!  Apples, anyone?!

On the poultry end of things, we are harvesting our fall crop of chickens next Friday, Oct. 12th.  We have one hundred "Heritage White" birds, all of which are spoken for (yay for being sold out!).  We have just a handful of our free range, organic, heritage Bourbon Red turkeys still available.  They will be harvested the Monday before Thanksgiving.

October also marks the month that brides (and grooms and parents and coordinators, as the case may be!) start calling to book weddings for the following year.  We are open for weddings (and other events) May through October.  Thanks to this year's couples, families and guests for a successful and fun 2012 season!  We look forward to more great events in 2013.
