Still Many Cracked Pecans & 'Gold Rush' Apples

   We still have a good supply of both 'Kanza' pecans and selections from Bill's pecan breeding program for sale.  All these pecans have large nuts, thin shells and great taste, and I give taste samples.

   Pecans store well for 3-4 months in a fridge, and for over 6 years in a freezer.  We sell cracked pecans in 4-pound bags, which are over 75% pecan kernels and under 25% shell fragments.  Each bag has the equivalent of 6 pounds of in-shell pecans, and when you pick out the kernels, you get 3 pounds or more of nutmeats.  Each bag costs $19.32 + sales tax. 

We have selections from Bill's pecan breeding program (bags on left) & 'Kanza' pecans (bags on right) for sale. The plastic boxes show what the cracked pecans look like inside the paper bags.

    We now have over 200 pounds of harvested #1 'Gold Rush' apples, and over 200 pounds of harvested #2 'Gold Rush' apples, packed and ready for sale in our cooler.  #1 'Gold Rush' apples keep in top condition for fresh eating for 10 to 11 months in a fridge when stored in the plastic bags I packed them in.  This apple variety gets sweeter after a month or two in cold storage, as starches convert into sugars.  #2 'Gold Rush' apples keep for 3 to 4 months in a fridge.

'Gold Rush' apples turn bright yellow when ready to eat. We'll have harvested 'Gold Rush' apples for sale until about May 2025.

   Harvested apples sell for $1.45 per pound + sales tax for #1 fruit with no damage.  A 20-pound box of #1 fruit costs $28.02 + sales tax, and you save $1.00.  We have some very nice #2 fruit that sell for $1.16 per pound + sales tax.  We also have small amounts of harvested #2 'Enterprise' apples, and mainly #2 selections from my apple breeding program for sale.

   More rain is predicted for tomorrow, Nov. 18, so I'll be in our sales building all during our Fall Open Hours, sorting 'Gold Rush' apples that I just picked yesterday.  We hope to harvest all remaining 'Gold Rush' apples on Tuesday Nov. 19, into large bins that we store in our larger cooler in our pecan building.  Then I'll sort apples out of those bins all winter, into 20-pound trays for sale.

   Projected sales dates for all our crops are shown in the sidebar at left under Crop Sales Seasons.  That also tells which crops we sell harvested, and which crops we sell pick-your-own.

   As always, we take cash or checks for payment, but NO credit cards or debit cards, and no "apps".  We don't use a smart phone, and have no phone line to the sales building.  So please bring your checkbook or enough cash to cover the amount of fruit you want to buy.  Thanks.
