Organic fruit supplies from a very challenging year are getting low, so this will unfortunately be the last week for Comeback Orchards. A hearty thanks go out to all of you who support our efforts in Organic farming. As farmer Pete always says "a farmers best year is always next year". Next year looks promising, the young trees put on some good growth, the older ones are loaded with fruit buds as typically follows a light year, the raspberry and blackberry patch is reaching maturity, and with over twenty varieties should give a full season of sweetness from summer to fall. Blueberries will be coming from our farm, they take longer to mature so quantities won't be great but we'll bring what we've got. And organic strawberries should be plentiful, they grew well with all the rain, and after last winter's vole devastation we've found some organic controls to keep them off the plants during dormant season.

We'll be bringing the last of our organic Asian and European pears, as well as the last of our apple selection this week. Also look for our organic tomato products made for us by our friends at Baumans in Strassamanville, PA, organic garden ketchup as well as organic mild, medium, and hot salsa. Rounding out the selection will be organic cider applesauce, a perfect accompaniment for your Thanksgiving turkey, and our organic fruit butters, apple, peach, pear, Asian pear, and the new addition of pumpkin butter. Look for customer appreciation specials on many of the fruit butters, a good time to stock up for winter for those of you who are brave enough to come out in our first taste of winter weather.
