Honeycrisp U-Pick Price 2010

The quality of this year's honeycrisp crop is looking very good as we approach opening day.  Some people have inquired as to why the price has been increased this year to $25 compared to last year's price of $20 per bag, so here's the scoop:  Honeycrisp is the most highly demanded u-pick apple we grow, and our supplies are very limited relative to demand.  Couple that with the fact that it is perhaps the most challenging variety for us to grow well, and we decided a price increase was in order.  That being said, we understand that $25 for one-half bushel of apples may be beyond the budget of some folks, and at the same time, our price per half-bushel equates to approximately $1.25 per pound, a very reasonable and competitive price for quality Honeycrisp.  That's the scoop!
