Our Apple Cider is available for purchase at the Farmer's Market Molto Vegas located at 7485 Dean Martin, Suite 106 on Thursdays from 11a.m to 1p.m.
We now have Monterey Pears. Most of them have been picked and are in the cooler. They are a very good pear! They are large and bumpy weighing around 1 lb each. They are worth the trip for a dollar a pound.
Zucchini and Yellow Squash are producing well. Armenian Cucumbers, are plentiful. Pickling Cucumbers are very nice. Asian , White and Black Beauty Eggplant are in large supply now. Cherry Tomatoes and Roma Tomatoes are in season (You need to look under the plant to find them). Tomatillos, used to make salsa are in season now. The Jonagold Apples are available now for picking.
Most fruit and vegetable crops are $1.00 per lb. Cantaloupe $2.00 each, and Watermelon, $4.00 each are available at the fruit stand.
We now have Okra. You need to come early for the okra because there is only one row. Butternut Squash and spaghetti squash are available now.
Our Famous Apple Cider:
$4.00 per 1/2 gallon apple cider
$2.00 per pint
$1.00 per 1/2 pint
Come early in the morning for the best selection and cooler temperatures.
*Keep in mind when you plan your trip that this is a super popular destination for school fieldtrips and moms groups. You are allowed to walk thru the orchards using wagons, strollers, or bags to carry what you pick or you can drive thru for a fee. The main benefit of walking it? Avoiding the extremely LONG line of cars when buying your picked veggies and fruit! Of course you'll envy their air conditioning and lack of dust in their teeth but you'll be on your way much faster! *I've walked the orchard with 10 month old twins in a double stroller....it can be done! Most days start out sweater worthy then quickly turn into shorts and a tank top...you've been warned.
**After the orchard you can go across the street to The Farm for pony rides ($5), buy farm fresh chicken or quail eggs, or feed the goats. Don't forget the Gilcrease Bird Sanctuary is right around the corner as well!
