Last year the orchard was in need of pruning, having been untended for a while. Cosmetically the trees look much better and have better access to light and air movement. This year we will address pests and other problems that cause the fruit to not look its best. Did you know that apples are one of the top pesticide laced fruits our children come in contact with? That is one of the many reasons we have decided to give organic a try.

Thanks to some very productive hens we have eggs available. They are really very pretty eggs, with their shades of brown and flecks of red. Every egg is unique though I am starting to see a trend in their shapes and hues. Each day we get at least one nicely speckled egg, a few oblong shaped eggs, and a whole bunch of more regularly shaped and colored eggs.  I almost feel just a little guilty cracking them open. Of course then my stomach growls and my guilt goes away. The insides are almost as pretty as the outsides, with their golden orange colored yolks and creamy whites. Yummy! Sorry no pictures, our camera is on the fritz. Anyway, our local customers can purchase eggs from our home and we will also have them available at the farmers markets.

Planting, weeding, watering, picking, sorting, washing and finally selling.

Triple A Produce is a small family run farm located in the historic Amana Colonies. The name of our business was inspired by our family, the “employees” of our business. Each of our names starts with the letter “A” and there are three of us. Look for us at the Amana Farmer’s Market each Friday (except the 3rd of July).
