Dear CSA and Friends of Shalom Orchard,
We are grateful that the storm missed us and are happy to see the sun again today! We are now picking apples and we will make cider on Sat., Oct. 4. We hope you will come out later in the day on Sat. to get some really fresh cider. We will have cider available for the 10/8 pickup as well. If you have used your shares each week, then 10/1 is the 14th pickup. We will have a pickup on 10/8, at which time we will have completed most of our harvest and have everything available for you to stock up on for winter! You can use up any unused shares or just come shopping.
