Apple Sales at the University of Vermont Horticultural Research Center
UVM Apple Sales begin August 31 at the UVM
Horticulture Research Center and will continue every Friday
through November 2 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The 2012 growing season has been a challenging one, with significant spring frost affecting the yield of many varieties, and variable spring and summer weather affecting ripening dates. Available varieties will change each week as the ripening season commences. Apple pricing this year is $1.25 per pound for all fruit. Bulk orders and interdepartmental purchases are welcome. Proceeds from Apple Sales go to supporting research and education programs at the farm. Please contact Terry Bradshaw at tbradsha@uvm.edu or 658-9166 for more information.
In addition to our IPM fruit, we will also have our Certified Organic crop, available only while our limited supplies last. Certified Organic apples from the Hort Farm are the product of a major USDA-funded project led by Plant and Soil Science professor Lorraine Berkett.
