2012 Apple Season is Here!
It's been a rough spring for Maple Leaf Orchard, along with many other orchards in the upper midwest. The 80 degree+ temperatures of March got the buds to blossom 5 weeks ahead of schedule. Eight subsequent freezes during this warmer than normal weather froze approx. 70% of the apple, pear, and plum blossoms.
We will be opening Labor Day Monday, Sept. 3 for the fall season. Even though our minimal apple crop will not allow us to have Pick Your Own apples this fall, we will still have apples available in the shop, plus we have a good crop of Pick Your Own grapes, raspberries, and blackberries, plus our 5 acre pumpkin patch. We will continue to provide a fun family experience with the hayrides even without the PYO apples. Our bakery is open on weekends with delicious apple cider donuts, apple pie and crisp. Our fresh apple cider is the best! Thank you to all of our loyal customers!
Thank you, Mark and Sue Christopher Maple Leaf Orchard
