We get lots of questions about how we preserve apples for our farmers markets during the winter. The answer? A little orchard magic and some smart storage technology - all happening in our packing house at Mead! 🍎❄️

As we wrap up another incredible year at Mead Orchards, we want to send a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who visited, picked apples, stopped by our booths and made the 2025 season so special. We’re already dreaming about warm June afternoons and can’t wait to welcome you back in June 2026 for another delicious, sun-soaked season at the orchard.

Earlier this month, we held our 2nd Annual Gleaning Day, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who joined in! With the help of our friends at Pleasantville Community Garden, 885 pounds of apples were gathered, organized, and shared with local food organizations, including Hillside Food Outreach, Second Chance Foods, Neighbors Link and The Pantry New York.

As we officially close the orchard for the season, we want to share a heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited, picked apples, shopped our Farmstand, brought your kids to explore Apple Town or simply stopped by to say hello. Your support means the world to our small, family-owned farm. We truly appreciate each and every one of you. ❤️
