Variety is the Spice of Life

And do we have variety! Our cold storage is chock full of apples just picked this week in one final last harvesting hurrah before the frosts come.

• Red Gold (last of the season)
  
• Splendor
• Fuji
• Braeburn
• Winesap
• Missouri Pippin
• Arkansas Black
• Bellflower
• Pippin

Don't forget to take home some of our incomparable Warren pears, tomatoes, pumpkins, zucchini, and much more. Now that October is half gone, holiday baking is right around the corner. Stock up on your baking apples for those sauces, pies, cobblers, and mulled ciders.

This weekend is our last wedding of the season but if you're planning a wedding for next year (or 2010), be sure to e-mail us for availability and for our brochure.

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!

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!
