We have another big weekend! Customer appreciation is tomorrow, Saturday, November 8th. We will be serving donuts and hot cider for our customers (while supplies last). This weekend is also the Mt.

Introducing the Gold Rush Apple — Autumn’s Hidden Gem!

Meet the Gold Rush apple — crisp, tangy, and beautifully balanced with just the right touch of sweetness. This late-season variety shines with bold flavor and a long storage life, making it perfect for snacking, baking, or adding a bright twist to salads and cheese boards.

Originally bred from the famous Golden Delicious, the Gold Rush brings a richer, more complex taste with hints of honey and spice that develop as it ripens. It’s one of those apples that actually gets better with time!

Flavor: Tart at first bite, mellowing into deep, sweet complexity

Texture: Firm, crisp, and incredibly juicy

Best for: Eating fresh, baking, cider, or slicing into fall salads

Swing by this weekend to try the Gold Rush apple — a true fall favorite that’s worth discovering.
