APPLE VARIETIES
Apples are available for picking from mid August through early November. The exact timing depends upon crop and weather conditions. In our farm market, we have a wide selection of apples almost year round due to our special storages that keep the apples 'tree fresh' long after they have been picked.

BLUEBERRY VARIETIES
The blueberry harvest here at Norton Brothers usually begins about July 15th and continues into September, a harvest period of about 8 weeks. We grow several varieties of blueberries that ripen through the season. All have excellent eating, cooking, and freezing quality. Blueberries should have a full blue color when picked in order to have full sweet flavor.
