Paulus Orchards
Greetings!
 
Fun on the Farm Family Weekends starts Saturday!  You can bring your family to the orchard for a great time.  U-Pick apples, wagon rides, the corn maze, and the play area all open this weekend and will continue every weekend through November 2nd.  Saturday hours are 9-5 and Sunday hours are 11-5.  You can also come on Labor Day from 9-5.  Farm Stand hours for Labor Day are also 9-5.
 
U-Pick apples this weekend will be Gala.  Some weekends there will be multiple varieties to pick, but it is still very early for apples.  Gala are one of my favorite apples, they are a great eating apple.  If you're going to a picnic this weekend stop by the farm and pick some apples to take with you.  They'll taste delicious!  Each week I will let you know what apples will be available for u-pick.  You can also check here anytime.
 
The corn maze also opens this weekend.  Check out this year's design.  Don't forget to tell all of the teachers you know that it is Teacher Appreciation Weekend.  All weekend long teachers have free admission to the corn maze with a school ID!
 
New this year is the corn shed and the big black tube slide.  Everyone will want to go down this slide!  There will also be a fun play structure on loan from F.A.M.I.L.I.E.S., a local Dillsburg company, starting September 6th.
 
In the Stand... 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lots of changes this week!  Gala apples, Red Bartlett Pears, and Yellow Bartlett Pears are new this week.  Stanley Prune Plums (the small blue football shaped plums that many people have been asking me about) will be picked today and in the stand on Saturday. 
 
Canned Peaches are in too.  Yes it seems funny for me to tell you about canned peaches since we are selling fresh peaches - but these are special.  They are special because they are our peaches from this year.  We just had them canned last week.  There are three different kinds - heavy syrup, light syrup, and no sugar added.
 
Of course there's lots more in the stand - peaches, watermelons, cantaloupes, corn...click here  for the complete list. 
Get a Free Maze Ticket  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Help us reach our goal of raising $1,000 for the American Cancer Society.  Donate a $20 (or more) gift basket for our fundraising weekend of September 13th and 14th and we will give you a free corn maze ticket. 
 
The "gift basket" can be ANYTHING!  It can be a gift certificate to your place of business, a painting, a houseplant, a great book... you get the picture.  It doesn't have to actually be a basket.  Everyone can come up with something! And in return, we'll give you a free corn maze ticket!  You can use it yourself or give it to someone you like (or someone you don't like if you hope they'll get lost and never come out!).
 
There will be a silent auction running all weekend (Sept. 13-14) for all items donated.  
 
One hundred percent of the money raised from the auction will go to the Cancer Society.  So donate a basket (or gift or gift certificate) and you will help a great cause, promote your own business at the same time, and get a free maze ticket!
 
In addition, half of all corn maze admissions for the entire weekend will be donated to the Cancer Society.  Please contact us by September 6th if you can make a donation for the auction.
Recipe of the Week 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a recipe for another Paulus summer favorite, Cucumbers and Onions.  Dan's grandmother used to make this for almost every family party.  It's simple and makes a great dish to take to a Labor Day Picnic!
 
There are plenty of great recipes waiting for you on the recipe page

Have a great week!
