New weather patterns are hard on apple crops. In Louisville, spring rains prevented bees from pollinating some varieties. So sad. (It's a good thing, ponies are tired of apples and prefer carrots.)

In just two weeks, due to visitors with extraodinary apple picking skills, the apples are virtually gone !

Yet, for stout-hearted genius apple pickers, who can find invisible apples, we will be open this weekend and Labor day, before closing for a long winter's nap.

Anyone wishing to picnic, visit ponies, climb on tractors, and enjoy Sahara desert weather, without paddling across the ocean to Africa, we still have all of these . . . alas, no camels.

Orchard opens Aug 22nd 2026 10am ! Which sounds very exciting . . . Except strange weather makes for strange apples. Northern Spi's are ripening strangely. Every apple is different, (it will take superlative cooks to deal with this.) Can you do it ??? Hope so !

We are in process of changing management. So if you see things that look a bit unusual, you are recognizing a new hand at work. Charles, an old friend of Whinny the Pooh, has done wonderful mowing in the orchard ! He is also our resident horse person.

Two new ponies should arrive Monday around 2:30pm, if anyone would like to welcome them. There names are Fancy and Stella, rescues from Eastern Kentucky starving strip mine herds.
