Road trip


Yes, it was time for another trip to the apple orchard!  


The Arkansas Blacks are here!  If you have never eaten this variety of apple, I highly recommend them--great eating apple, excellent for cooking and they make delicious applesauce. The Arkansas Blacks are AppleJacks favorite variety of apple.


With a name like Granny Smith what's not to love?  We purchased more than a bushel and a peck--we have apples for eating, cooking and the freezer.  There are apples to share with friends and school children, to make salads and desserts and cider--endless possibilities.

Rowell's is a wonderful orchard (and operated by the nicest people).  If you are driving on I-40 take a side trip to the orchard and get your apple fix--your tastebuds will thank you later.  For the record, the wonderful people at Rowell's Orchard don't know me from Adam's house cat!

  6. Sounds like a fun trip and who doesn't love apples and apple picking. The Arkansas Blacks are ones I've never heard of. I love the honeycrisp, Fuji and cameos here in Washington.

  7. I've never heard of the Arkansas Black apple and I don't think I've ever seen it sold in this area either. I really like apples and making applesauce so I'm always interested in new to me varieties!
