How to pick like a pro
- Is it ripe?
Ripe apples come off with a gentle lift and twist. If you have to yank, it is not ready. Background color shifts from green to yellow or cream.
- How to pick
Lift the apple up and twist; do not pull straight down or shake the branch. Leave the stem on. Set apples in the bag, do not drop them, because bruises spread.
- Best time to go
Weekday mornings. Weekend afternoons in late September and October are the busiest.
- Keep it fresh
Refrigerate; most varieties keep for weeks. Keep away from bananas and greens, because apples release ethylene.
Farm country: Marion County
Marion County had 2,477 farms in the latest USDA Census of Agriculture (2022). Of those, 278 sold food straight to the public and 19 earned money from agritourism like u-pick and tours.
