What a great night @mcdougal.orchards apple tasting. I was able to get some great feedback on future jams and sauces (corn, tomato, blueberry cocoa, quince and Apple cider caramel made with ingredients from the farm!) looking forward to next year's samples already (pumpkin spice sauce?!!)

Wow! #mothernaturerocks walked down the steps to find this amazing creature in the grass. It's a Luna Moth! While not rare, it's not often seen because it's nocturnal. The adult only lives 7-10 days 😞 and it is is an indicator of a healthy habitat 🤗

The Good: the apple crop looks great so we will have our organic cider again! The Bad: We have had major changes in our Full Time jobs. The Ugly: We are unable to maintain the farmstand until the Fall (weekends only). We may have produce "pop up" from time to time and will post here what and when. Thank you for your patience!
