Anyone who has plucked a ripe, sun-ripened crisp apple right from the tree and promptly eaten it knows what a taste difference there really is. The freshest apples are also the most nutritious. They are picked ripe with their full complement of vitamins. So, after the apples are tested for sugar content, we mark our U-Pick rows with yellow flags on the end of each row only when the apples reach their peak ripeness so you know where to pick the freshest, most ripe apples each day! So, once you enter the orchard, only pick on those rows marked with the bright yellow flags to assure you are getting the freshest and best apples that day!
Since the presence of a lot of starch can affect an apple’s flavor, an apple that has not had sufficient time to ripen will have more starch present than sugar. This, combined with the acid present in the apple, can have an adverse effect on one's stomach. So, to avoid an upset stomach, please do not pick and eat apples that are not ripe yet!
