Black's Shady Knoll Orchard

Yep. Big progress at the orchard! ⚡ Jakob’s Electric crew has been in this cold weather working on installing all the wiring and lights. So a HUGE shout out to them!!!! AEP arrived yesterday to install the electric poles and the transformer was hung today, so we’re hoping to have power in the new building soon. That means we can finish up the final details and start moving things in! In January we scored amazing finds at the KMS and KHS auctions. Our pride and joy is the old library shelves that we’ll refinish for our jams and jellies. Lots of work ahead, but it’s exciting to see everything coming together. A little nostalgia is on its way to the orchard! 😊

We will be open Saturday December 6th only. We will have apples, cider and all our other goodies. Sorry no slushee’s but we will have HOT CIDER for sale!!!!

We Make Gift Baskets for Any Budget!

Step 1: Pick your products
Step 2: Choose your packaging — bag or basket
Step 3: Decide pickup style:
• We can assemble it while you wait, or

You can also take your packaging home to assemble yourself, or we can make it for you — whichever you prefer!

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. Victory Christmas Open House! Make a day of it, visit the orchard and then head to Mt. Mount Victory Antique and Craft Shops for some early Christmas Shopping!

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.
