Welcome to Flint Creek Orchard

For Tuesday, August 19:  This morning we may have rain, but we'll be open anyway, because maybe it will miss us.  And we'll be open this evening 5-7 pm.  We still have peaches, apples , and blackberries.

We still have a lot of peaches that look really nice and are ready to be picked.  The varieties available are Sweetstar, PF 13 Lucky, Contender, and Coralstar, and Veteran, a variety that more of a yellow skin.  Many people came out Saturday to pick peaches, and they were not disappointed.  We still have many Veteran, Contender, and Coralstar peaches.  We are very pleased with how they turned out this year; it has been a very good peach year for us.  

As far as apples, we have the varieties Sansa and Blondee (a yellow Gala).

The picture to the right are the Sansa apples a couple of days ago.  

We still have blackberries available for u-pick.  The blackberry canes are thornless, so they are pretty easy to pick.

The blackberry plants are thornless and the plants are trellised vertically (mostly) so the berries are easier to get to.  

If you are interested in picking a lot of blackberries for jam, etc., we still have quite a few berries.

Sansa is essentially an early-ripening Gala and was developed in the 1970s by the Morioka Research Station in Japan, in collaboration with researchers in New Zealand, as a straightforward cross between Akane and Gala varieties. Sansa is a red, medium-large apple (smaller this year; there are a lot of apples on the trees) with a deep pink blush on a yellow skin. Its firm flesh is light green with red in color. It is popular for both snacking and applesauce. 

Blondee apples have a sweet flavor, with a crisp & juicy white flesh. The smooth yellow skin may have slight russeting at the stem.  It is a slow-browning apple when sliced, and has a good refrigerated storage life.
