More Apples!

Ward Family,
Many of you would like another opportunity to pick apples at Bountiful Farms.  We will be meeting again this Friday at 5pm behind the office.  See you there.

Apples & Pears

North Marion Ward members,

Meet this Monday for a Ward FHE, 7pm behind the office at Bountiful Farms.  We have been invited to pick apples and Asian pears.  Bishop has some instructions on how to pick the fruit without damage to his trees.  See you there!

TK Orchards

TK Orchards, 23513 NE Boones Ferry Rd, Aurora has Veteran peaches that are ready.  Just turn west onto Arndt Road from the Hubbard Cut Off and then turn north onto Boones Ferry immediately after the I-5 underpass, there are signs too.  Their U-pick is $0.80 a pound.  I understand that you can also take culls from the ground for free as long as you take less than the amount you picked and paid for.  I am going there tomorrow to check it out.  Anyone else get this great deal?  Their hours are listed on their Facebook page and they update it often with the varieties that are ready to be picked.  They also have peaches that are picked if you'd rather just swing by and grab some. 

UPDATE 8/24/12
I went today and it's true!  You can glean for free as long as they are a lesser weight than the u-pick that you pay for.  

Green Beans

Laureen Bahr has green beans from her garden to share.  They can be eaten fresh, canned, or frozen.  They are ready to be picked today.  Spread the word, she has tons!

Figs

Brother Lim has some fresh figs that need to be picked today.  They spoil quickly, but are wonderful fresh, cooked for cookies, or dried.  Thanks!

Pie Apples

Lee Maus' mother has pie apples that she would love to have someone come pick and use.  They are ready NOW.  Her phone number is 503-678-5065.  Thanks!

Raspberries

I gleaned raspberries from Heidi Torian's today and there are still tons left!  She has welcomed the ward to go and pick them so they don't go to waste.  I don't know the variety, but they are thornless and very large.  They won't last too much longer so go and pick soon.  Thanks Heidi!
