We had a medium-sized apple crop until it was completely destroyed by hail on May 24. It was 20 minutes of continuous marble-sized hail, and virtually every apple ended up on the ground. Consequently, we will not have apple picking this year. We did plant pumpkins, squash, and corn, and we may try to find a Covid-19 compliant way to sell those in the fall, but if we do it will be much different than in the past. We were narrowly missed by a hailstorm just yesterday (July 12) so who knows what will survive until September. Farming is such fun! Stay tuned.

While you are in Penrose, you may also want to visit these other businesses, but with the coronavirus, hail and other challenges it is best to check with them first before you make the trip:
Degenhart Orchard at 955 3rd Street, next door to Third Street Apples, sells apples and pears in boxes and bags from their tent on the roadside. Same great Penrose fruit as grown in our orchard.
Jenkins Farms Apple Valley Orchard at 448 K Street just a few blocks from our farm. www.penroseapples.com.
Also, Happy Apple Farm nearby at 1st and K Street has apples, cider and a pumpkin patch. www.happyapplefarm.com
For lunch try the Gooseberry Patch or the Coyote Coffee Den on Highway 115 in Penrose.
