Remember the exceptionally warm spring we had? Daffodils bloomed in February, trees leafed out early, and apple trees blossomed before their time. It was wonderful weather for people, but for apple trees in Michigan and other parts of the country, it was devastating. Shortly after the apple trees bloomed, freezing cold nights destroyed the majority of the delicate blossoms and tiny infant fruit that had just begun to develop.
Year after year, one truckload after the other, Hildebrand apples and Concord grapes have gone out from Bulk Natural Foods to families that appreciate how good apples are supposed taste.
Sadly, you’ll only have one opportunity to order from the Hildebrand farm this year, and that order will open the first or second week of September.
For the fall months, we’re working on some other possibilities from other states that had more favorable growing conditions this spring. But we’ll have to let you know more when the details for these other orders start to fall into place. Nothing is definite yet.
Have you thought about NYS Apples? I grew up in the finger lakes area and believe they have some of the best fruit. We like the Macintosh from NY the best but they have developed a new variety called the JonaMac. The orchard is Beak & Skiff.
Thanks for the video. Really informative and I know it will make my family appreciate much more greatly what apples we are fortunate enough to enjoy this year! Appreciate all the farmers who take the risk and produce our food!!
Being from PA, I can relate to the trials and tribulation of growing fruit in the north! I hope next year will be fabulous for you!
Ok thx. Hope you can find more. Was hoping to up the order as have been so happy.
This is such a shame! I’ll want some, depending..
I was disappointed to hear this news, but no one can change the weather!! I definitely want as many as I can get. They are the best apples I’ve ever had!
I feel so badly for all those farmers!
Thanks for posting the video. It is nice to have a reminder to pray for the farmers in this country!
