Winter Fun!

So, we are a week into 2021!  How is everyone feeling?  I feel about the same!  I was recently thinking about how people might wonder what farmers do during the “off-season.”  I had no idea before I started working with Chris. Turns out, there is a lot to do!  As they say, there is no rest […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  It’s been an interesting and challenging year.  We want to express our sincere gratitude for your support of our little orchard and family business.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This is a quick reminder that we will be CLOSED tomorrow and Friday (11/26 & 11/27).  We will reopen on Saturday, 28 […]

U-Picking at Rittman Orchards

Hello all!  Hello Fall!  This season brings all sorts of goodies along with cool weather: pumpkins, apple picking, cider, and my personal favorite, caramel apples.  We typically sell out of these delightful treats by the end of each day, but if I am lucky, I get to take one home.  🙂  Abbie won’t eat them […]

Cider, Honeycrisp and U-Pick

Well, hello again!  It’s Amanda. Fall has arrived! I know because for the first few days of cooler weather, I always forget my sweatshirt!

Peaches, peaches, peaches

Hi everyone, It’s Amanda again!  So, what have the peaches been up to?  How are all the melons getting along with one another?  Are the plums and the nectarines here yet?  What are Abbie’s latest words? Ok, maybe not the last one.  But, all these questions and more will be covered in the next few […]

Peaches, Pristine Apples, and the Last Day of U-Pick

Hi everyone, I’m back this week. I’ve got a few really quick updates about things on the farm. First, our peaches are in. We’ll have our Flamin’ Fury PF-7’s in the market tomorrow, at least most of the day. Then I think Glenglo is up next. We have four varieties I’m picking my way through […]

U-Pick Open Tomorrow and a Shaker Square Update

Hi everyone, Wow, you guys like your strawberries! Sunday was even crazier than Friday. Luckily we had today to recover (and for the strawberry patch to recover, too). We’ve started some more pickers to try to keep up better with picked berries in the market. And I think I have a plan to handle u-pick […]

Strawberries!

Hi everyone, It’s finally time for strawberry season! Here’s all the details we have figured out so far. Some of this info you may have seen already, but I figured it was better to compile everything together. Already Picked Berries – We will have strawberries in the market daily for the next few weeks, unless […]
