Greetings! 
  
What do Gala Apples, Corn Maze, Spaghetti Bread, Whoopie Pies, and Honeycrisp apples all have in common?  They all start Saturday!
 
U-pick apples start this Saturday and continue every weekend in September and October.  This weekend you can pick Gala apples.  Each weekend will be different so keep an eye on these newsletters to know what apples you can pick each week.  U-Pick Hours are Saturday 9-5, Sunday 11-5, and Labor Day 9-5.
 
The corn maze also starts this weekend.  Don't forget to tell all of the teachers that you know that they are free all weekend long with their school id.  (I used to be a teacher and appreciate all of the hard work that goes into teaching.  It's our way of saying thanks for helping our communities' children.)  Maze hours are Saturday 9-5, Sunday 11-5, and Labor Day 9-5.
 
O.K. - u-pick, corn maze... you're thinking, "That makes sense...but Spaghetti bread??  What are you talking about?"  I knew you were.  But I haven't lost my mind, at least not all of it anyway.  I'm sure my employees will tell you I have, but those are stories not to be repeated!  Anyhow, starting Saturday we will have some amazing baked goods.  Back by request, are the famous breads of the Pennsylvania Bakery.  Choose from these delicious breads: spaghetti, cheddar, cobblestone (apple and walnut), cinnamon swirl, and zucchini.  But hurry - they're bound to go quickly!
 
There will also be cookies, whoopie pies, and apple dumplings this weekend.
 
And lastly...for those of you who have been waiting for this news...Honeycrisp apples will be available starting Saturday.  Our trees are young so we don't have as many honeycrisp as our other varieties.  I'm sure we'll have them all weekend, but I doubt they'll be around all month. 
 
So - that's a lot of reasons why you should find some time in your busy Labor Day Weekend to stop by.  (Plus I like to see you so find me and say hello!  You might have to play hide and seek.  I could be in the stand, in the maze, or driving a tractor for our free wagon rides.)

Cancer Society Fundraiser 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Donations are coming in.  Please mark your calendar for next weekend, September 12th and 13th, for the silent auction.  We'll have a wonderful variety of items and all of the money will go to the American Cancer Society.
 
You can still make a donation (gift items, gift cards, children's items).  Just bring it in by next Friday. 
 
Everyone who makes a contribution to the auction will receive two free corn maze admissions as our way of saying THANK YOU for your help!
New Class 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The pictures from our first canning class are finally posted on our facebook page.  You can see them at www.facebook.com/PaulusOrchards.  I apologize for not getting them on the web site...apparently I have maxed out my storage space!  Can you believe it?  Well, not to worry, I won't delete all of the recipes!  I'll just have to call our internet company and move up to the next level!
 
We are having another canning class in 2 weeks.  It is currently full, but you can call the farm to be added to the waiting list if you like.
 
I have added a new class for October.  On Monday, October 19th, we'll have an applesauce class.  It will be from 6-8 pm and the cost will be $8, which will cover all supplies.  We'll be using the saucemasters to make the sauce.  Many people have thought about buying one but they weren't sure if they wanted to make the investment.  Well, now you can come and give it a try and make a mess in my kitchen instead of your own!  Call the farm to register (432-2544).  Class size is limited to 10 people.  If there is a strong interest I will add another class.
