Depending upon all the variable weather conditions that can affect crops, profit margins can be slim some years. Wildlife damage can have a severe impact on any farming operation. That's the normal date. Some crops may be a couple weeks ahead. But Ski Hi has its apple varieties coming in just about on time.
Customers ask for multi-purpose apples.
People start asking for caramel apples as soon as the early apples start coming in. We're one of the few who use Kraft caramel and Planters peanuts. That's what makes them so good. The caramel doesn't even stick to your teeth. Grandma's Pies are another farm favorite.
