Enjoy Treats From Our Apple Orchard
Our homemade apple pies and apple dumplings are made from our own orchard-fresh apples. We also offer fresh pressed pasteurized apple cider for those chilly fall evenings.
There are approximately 2,500 different varieties of apples grown in the United States. About 7,500 varieties of apples are grown throughout the world.
You know the old saying, “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.” Apples are quite healthy. They are fat, sodium, and cholesterol-free and contain about 80 calories, and are a great source of fiber. Apples also help to clean your teeth.
Twenty-five percent of an apple’s volume is air. That is why apples float.
