Honey Is Here

MacGregor Orchard’s bees have been busy and working hard. We pulled our second round of honey from the hives about 2 weeks ago and now we are stocked up again. We have 2lb and 1lb bottles, and 12oz Honey Bears available. It is as smooth and delicious as the first batch. 

As you know our first honey offering was a delicious blossom flavor. This batch has more of a sourwood/blossom combination flavor.

Our neighbors stopped to pick up some more honey. They recommend it on pancakes, pies, and fingers! Yes, fingers…

We are still picking several of our late season peaches. Emmett enjoyed his first fresh peach at MacGregor Orchard last weekend. It was a beautiful sweet sight to see.

We have our NY-614 (powerful pear favor- yum!) and Seckel (Sugar) pears this weekend. Asian Pears are just around the corner! We are so excited.

Castleton Prunes

Castleton Prunes

We will have Cortland, Gala, Golden Supreme, Early Fuji and a limited supply of Honey Crisp apples. We plan to start making apple sauce and apple cider in the next week or so. We will let you know as soon as we start the press up!

We are still picking the Queen’s Fig, which is the larger variety. We also have smaller “Mystery” Figs. We have all come to know any “Mystery” varieties of fruits grown at this orchard are always a wonderfully delicious surprise.

We regret to say the late season plums (Damson & Elephant Hearts) did not do well this year and we are very sad. We will try again next year.

We have picked our Castleton Prunes. Our customers with European backgrounds have been making cakes and dumplings with the prune. I would love someone to share their recipe with me...
