Autumn Apple Report

Pipkin's Market — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 19:33:17 +0000

Wesler's Orchard supplies us with most of our local apples. Their crop was wiped out by a late spring freeze. The late freeze also reduced the amount of the harvest throughout the eastern United States. Here is a state by state review of the expected size of the apple crop:

Ohio 10% of normal

Michigan 11% of normal

New York 48% of normal

Pennsylvania 85% of normal

The good news is that Pennsylvania has a good crop! We'll be selling apples from Pennsylvania.
