Q: What is currently available for picking in the
Orchard?
A: You can find out what is currently being picked by
visiting our pick roster at Apple Varieties or
by calling the Orchard office at 845/986-7080. We always recommend
calling before you come for the latest conditions and
availabilities.
Q: How many apples are in a...?
A: We provide you with 1/2 bushel bags, each of which
holds approximately 20 lbs. of apples. 1 lb. of apples consists of 4 small
apples OR 3 medium apples OR 2 large apples. 2 medium
apples are equivalent to 1 cup of grated apple. 2 lbs.
of apples make 1 9" apple pie. A peck of apples weighs about
10 1/2 lbs. A whole bushel of apples weighs
about 42 pounds and will yield 20-24 quarts of applesauce.
1 lb. of apples yields approximately 3 cups of diced apples
OR 2 1/2 cups of pared/sliced apples.
