Our property is nestled on 23 acres surrounded by woods. We have a combination Apple orchard and Event facility available for weddings and other functions. Our orchard consists of over 600 apple trees with a few plum and peach trees thrown in. Each tree has been hand grafted and carefully planted. WSU Extension has been the main resource for over 25 years in making our orchard a success! While we concentrate mainly on Gravensteins &amp; Jonagolds we also have several other verities as well. We now have blueberries! We cater to local residents and local produce markets.</p>
<h4><strong>We sell: Blueberries, Gravensteins, Jonagolds, Galas, Spartans, Summer Reds &amp; Melrose</strong><br />

Take 1 bag of red hots and add 1 cup of water, melt over medium heat. Make sure candy is completely melted. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.<br />
Drain apples and put in very large flat container. Pour red hot liquid over apples. Make sure they are covered with the liquid. Let stand for at least several hours (Ideally 24h).<br />
Drain and place on dehydrator trays. Turn on high setting for 24 hours rotating trays every few hours. When done, let cool and put into zip lock bags.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt">Using an apple peeler, corer, slicer<br />
***Prepare apples then put in tub/sink of cool water with 1cup of lemon juice (to keep color)***<br />
When ready, drain excess juice from your apples using a colander. Using a large bowl, mix well with rest of ingredients. Pour into a gallon size freezer zip-lock bag. Make sure you scrape bowl and juice into bag &amp; remove as much excess air before/while sealing.<br />
Freeze. Good for up to a year! When you need an apple pie or crisp just take out of freezer, unthaw at room temp, add the topping/crust, toss it in the oven and voilà! </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 4pt"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt">Core and thickly slice the apples.  Heat fry pan, cast iron preferably, and add oil.  You may add some amount of butter to flavor.  Fry apples over medium to medium/high heat until slightly browned and mushy.  Add Nutmeg and Cinnamon while cooking.  Turn off heat and add a mixture (50/50) of the sugar, stir in until uniformly mixed.  Cool and serve.  You may also add raisins, walnuts, or both during the frying for a variation.  If you ever achieve the perfect ratio of ingredients be sure to write it down before you start eating. </span></p>
