Pumpkins

Our many varieties of pumpkins have been growing well all summer, and most are ready to be picked directly from the patch! You will find many varieties mixed in together in our massive 8-acre pumpkin patch!

 

Apples

  • Aztec Fuji: Super sweet, crisp, and juicy, Aztec Fuji apples are a premium strain of the classic Fuji — known for their intense flavor and beautiful rosy-red color. With a dense, crunchy texture and rich honey-like sweetness, they’re perfect for snacking, salads, and baking. Fuji apples were developed in Japan and are now among the most popular apples in the world, thanks to their sweetness and long storage life.

  • Crimsoncrisp: A deep red beauty with a perfectly balanced sweet-tart flavor. CrimsonCrisp apples are renowned for their firm, crunchy texture and refreshing juiciness, making them an excellent choice for fresh eating. They also hold their shape well in baking and add a crisp snap to salads. CrimsonCrisp was first developed in the 1970s through a partnership between Purdue, Rutgers, and the University of Illinois, with the original seedling planted at Rutgers in New Jersey.

  • Golden DeliciousBright and sweet, this apple is a true classic! Perfect for munching straight from the tree, baking into pies, or adding a golden touch to your salads. Pick your own and taste the sunshine in every bite!

  • GoldRush: Rich, tangy, and delightfully crisp, GoldRush apples have a bright, spicy-sweet flavor that becomes even sweeter the longer they are stored. Their firm flesh and bold taste make them amazing for fresh eating, baking, and cider. GoldRush is a descendant of the famous Golden Delicious, bred for extra flavor and better disease resistance.

  • Granny SmithTart, crisp, and refreshingly juicy, Granny Smith apples are the classic green apple everyone knows and loves. Their firm texture and bright zing make them perfect for snacking, baking, and adding sparkle to salads. Granny Smith apples were discovered in Australia in the 1860s by a grandmother named Maria Ann “Granny” Smith!

  • Pink Lady: Bright, crisp, and beautifully pink, Pink Lady® apples are known for their sweet-tart flavor and super-crunchy bite. They stay firm and flavorful, perfect for snacking, salads, and baking. Pink Lady® apples are some of the first to bloom in spring and the last to be harvested in fall — they need a long growing season to develop their signature flavor.

  • Red Delicious: Juicy, sweet, and instantly recognizable, the Red Delicious apple has been a favorite since its discovery in Iowa in the 1870s. Perfect for snacking or adding a pop of color to your salads, they’re a classic orchard treat! Not recommended for baking.

  • RomeMild, firm, and beautifully bright red, Rome apples are known as a baker’s favorite. Their dense texture holds up perfectly in the oven, making them ideal for pies, crisps, roasting, and applesauce, though they’re also great for fresh eating if you like a softer, mellow flavor. Sometimes called “Baker’s Buddy,” Rome apples keep their shape so well in the heat that they’re among the best varieties for frying, roasting, and baking whole.

  • Snapp Stayman Winesap: Bold, tangy, and deeply flavorful, Snapp Stayman Winesap apples are a rich heirloom variety with a juicy, slightly spicy bite. Their firm texture and balanced sweet-tart taste make them standouts for snacking, baking, and cider. The Snapp strain is a naturally improved version of the historic Stayman Winesap apple — known for bigger size, brighter color, and even richer flavor. Stayman Winesap apples date back to the 1800s and are beloved for their complex “wine-like” taste and excellent baking qualities.

  • Suncrisp: Suncrisp apples are a crisp, sweet-tart variety with a bright, refreshing flavor and firm, juicy texture. Their golden-yellow skin with a blush of red makes them as beautiful as they are delicious. Perfect for snacking, baking, or slicing into salads, Suncrisp apples stay crunchy and flavorful long after harvest. And, they were developed right here in New Jersey at Rutgers University—making them a true local favorite!

  • Super Chief: A super-red strain of Red Delicious, with all the same lovable characteristics! Sweet, classic, great for fresh eating. Not recommended for baking.

  • Winecrisp: Juicy, firm, and full-flavored, WineCrisp apples offer a rich, sweet taste with a hint of spice and berry-like notes. Their crunch and natural sweetness make them great for snacking, baking, and cider — especially if you love apples with real depth and character.
