And Then There Were Four...

...varieties of apples, that is! After the weekend crowds, we are left with Pippin, Braeburn, Jonalicious, and Golden Delicious. Never fear, Fuji are due in sometime Tuesday so all you Fuji fans come on out! We'll be back up to five apples varieties from which you can choose. Baking, eating, drying, decorating: they're great for all your apple needs.

We had a great weekend here at the Ranch and if you were one of the faces we saw during our super busy two days, thanks for coming! We are ready for a nap but apple season is in full swing so we'll let the kittens nap for us...at least for now. Thanks to Sandy B. for getting such a cute picture of Felix, Jemima, and Rusty taking their afternoon snooze.

Stay tuned for more news about our featured artists later this week. We are excited to show their art at the stand and you can buy some of their beautiful work. In the meantime, come buy a pumpkin, some cider, butternut squash, and anything else you need to celebrate all things Fall. We'll be happy to serve you!

P.S. We still have some fabulous Warren Pears and a fresh batch of Beefsteak tomatos!

Pumpkins + Apples + Cider = FALL

After an exciting week, we are looking forward to a full weekend here at the See Canyon Fruit Ranch! If you saw the news coverage this week about our gleaning opportunities, thank you for your support! Come and stroll through the orchard and gather apples from the ground for $6. If you need a box, add a $1 to your total and take home your own box with apples. With the wonderful fall weather this weekend, you can make memories with your family to last a lifetime.

We have 8 varieties of apples waiting for you to sample and take home. For you Fuji fans, we should have those in a few weeks (yay!!).
  • Jonadel
  • Red Delicious
  • Golden Delicious (mmm, applesauce!)
  • Jonalicious
  • Jonagold
  • Spitzenburg (these were Thomas Jefferson's favorite!)
  • Braeburn
  • Pippin (apple pie anyone?)
Our pumpkins have arrived and are priced for you to take home right away.

  • $15 for large pumpkins
  • $9 for medium pumpkins
  • $7 for small pumpkins

We are very excited about our new, exclusive partnership with California Bee Company to bring you local honey! Great for baking, sweetening tea, or enjoying on toast. Did you know local honey is helpful in fighting allergies and boosting the immune system? Get a head start on warding off those winter colds by taking some of our honey home to your loved ones. We are looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the California Bee Company so stay tuned for the latest buzz!

And last but never least, be sure to sample our cider when you bring your family to buy apples. We're sure you'll want to take home our convenient pint, quart, half gallon, or gallon containers of apple cider.

So, TGIF and see you this weekend at the Ranch!

All Good Things...

...Must come to an end and our sale on the Cheiftans is over. We've got more varieties in our barns ready and waiting for you to take home so come on out to the Ranch for your apples!

Pumpkins coming soon for your Fall decorating activities so check back here often so you can get the first pick of our big orange beauties.

Doing lunch with your friends? Consider bringing a picnic lunch and enjoying our gardens between the hours of 11 and 1 pm. Feel free to park, stroll the grounds, eat your lunch (don't forget to pick up your trash!), and relax with family and friends. Save room for an apple or a chilled pint of cider for dessert fresh from our barn.
