Put some Harvest in Your Labor Day!

Dear Friends of Riley's Farm:
   
Because of the heat, this looks like it will be an early harvest season, so sign up or drive up!  It pays to plan your harvest--and it helps us plan for you!
 
We now have Macintosh,  Gravenstein and crab apples in the store for purchase and we will be u-picking a few Gala and Senshu apples this weekend.      Every year, a brigade of customers bemoan the passing of the crab apple season.    (These apples have their own loyal following for baking and cider making.)  The farm grill will be open for your dining pleasure, so come on up Saturday and Monday of  this Labor Day weekend.   (We're closed Sundays.)     

Don't forget, we still have a bumper crop of luscious deep red raspberries, so you can add fresh raspberries to your fresh cider, along with a crab apple here and there, to make yourself a fall drink-treat.     We're picking pears now too.

Civil War buffs:   we will be hosting the American Civil War Society's "Rememberance Fall Fair" September 16th.    (You can see a brief video of last year's event by clicking on the Lincoln graphic at left.)    Blue Gray ball tickets are going fast, so sign up!!!

Do you know someone who wants to work for Riley's Farm?     We need dedicated, country loving, customer-friendly people to help us work the BERSERK fall Saturdays around here.      Why not work the whole harvest with us--as a family?    We will hire you to have fun!   (And work really hard too.)        You always said you wanted to work the farm;   now's your chance.    Sign up!   We also need people who love American history to play the part of pioneers and minutemen and women of the revolution.    Seniors welcome!    They make the best living historians!    Call Jan at 909-790-TIME to fill out an application.
