gooseberries are a small green tart berry (about the size of a grape) that grows on a bush. if left on the bush long enough, they turn pink. our gooseberries ripen at the same time as our tart cherries and are available to pick during the month of july. typically the season lasts just a short time, so don’t miss out. gooseberries are typically used for baking
Ida Red
a very tart and firm apple that is a cross between the jonathan and wagner apple. it is a little larger and a little more tart than a jonathan. it is excellent for pies, baked apples, and chunky applesauce and is one of the more popular baking apples
Black & Red Currants
during our tart cherry season, which typically begins around july 4 and lasts 2-3 weeks, we also have both black and red currants available to pick. currants are a very small tart fruit (slightly smaller than a blueberry). although rarely eaten before cooking or adding sugar, currants are excellent for jams and jellies. black currants, in particular, are popular among people from eastern european countries
Crab Apples
real small apples that ripen in august that are used mainly for jelly
Pears
we grow three varieties of pears—bartlett, spartlett, and bosc. bartlett and spartlett pears are fairly similar, although spartlett are slightly larger and firmer than bartlett pears. bosc pears ripen later in the season and are more crunchy
