The pumpkin patch is in full swing with wagon rides. Granny Smith Apple picking started on Saturday, September 24. They are open from 7:00 am until 2:00 pm Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays during the Fall. There are still some sweet potatoes, zucchini, summer squash, eggplant and cucumbers for picking. Sign up for their newsletter to see what's fresh & available at http://www.thegilcreaseorchard.org or follow them on social media.
It's amazing that there is an orchard in the middle of the desert. I love being able to pick my own fruits and vegetables.
The thing that I'm perplexed about is that the flavor of the fruits & veggies that I've gotten here aren't as multi-layered (is that the right phrase?) as I was hoping. Sometimes the fruits & veggies I've gotten from Sprouts taste better. But hey, good for the Gilcrease Family for providing the community with options. Please come out & support them. I will certainly continue to do so.
