RB FAMILY ORCHARD PROUDLY FEATURES THE FOLLOWING FALL MENU





OUR OWN, PRESSED ON PREMISES, RAW FRESH CIDER!


Our freshly pressed cider announces the advent of fall. It is available in gallon, half gallon and 12 oz. individual sized portions. CAN BE FROZEN AND ENJOYED DURING HOLIDAYS







DRIED APPLE RINGS

This apple treat is made by us nightly during apple season only. Demand always outpaces our ability to supply this popular product, so please accept our apologies if we are sold out at the time of your visit. CURRENT STATUS: SOLD OUT.





DAILY FRESH BAKED APPLE CRISP

Apple Crisp is baked fresh daily. We offer two sizes, the family size that serves between six and eight, depending on how heavy handed your portions are, and the individual size. Take it home or come and have some here are the orchard. This sibling trio makes it a family tradition every fall!





BARB'S NUTTY APPLECAKE--A POPULAR FALL ITEM

All we can say is yum! yum! A very moist and rich cake with apples and walnuts incorporated in the dough. Frosted with cream cheese icing. To insure your purchase of this item, advance ordering is advised as it is not as readily available as the crisp. Call or email one day ahead of pickup. ORDERS BEING TAKEN NOW.

PUMPKIN BREAD

Yes, another little known 'secret' and favorite at the orchard. Freshly baked mini loaves of pumpkin bread with walnuts. Moist and delicious. CAN BE FROZEN FOR THE HOLIDAYS!





APPLE BUTTER


SOLD OUT! If you are not familiar with apple butter, it is a jam type spread that is delicious on toast, bagels or with a peanut butter sandwich! It can also be used as a flavoring in cake icings, fruit dips, added to sauces when cooking chicken or pork--use your imagination! Perhaps the term 'apple butter' might have derived from the fact that this particular fruit jam spreads like butter.

L-R 14 oz. Apple Butter, Cherry Butter, Pumpkin Butter, Apple Jelly, 28 oz. Apple Butter

Please note: Pumpkin Butter & Apple Jelly are sold out.




APPLE SYRUP * APPLE CHIPOTLE SAUCE * APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

APPLE SYRUP AND VINEGAR SOLD OUT! You will love the mild apple flavor of this syrup atop your morning pancakes or waffles. It is also a great flavoring to add into chicken or pork meat sauces. Try it--you'll like it!



Folks practically banged on the countertop and begged for more of the Apple Chipotle Sauce when we first introduced it two years ago. It's zingy flavor pleased many tastebuds--but you have to love zingy. How to use? Ribs, Chicken, Pork, Fish--just a fabulous all-around condiment. AVAILABLE

Yes, we do make our own vinegar. At the end of each season, some fresh cider is allowed to ferment. Then 'mother' of vinegar is added to the fermented cider and over the year, the mother changes the cider to vinegar.




PUMPKIN BUTTER & APPLE CINNAMON JELLY--BOTH SOLD OUT.

So many of you took advantage of our tables and pleasant outdoor area this season to picnic and/or enjoy some cider and crisp. We hope you made some special memories. Take a look at Crossroads Community Church from Ridgecrest that visited us, 100 strong to picnic and enjoy the fall weather on a remarkably pleasant October 2010 Saturday.



Our facility is here for just that--your enjoyment with friends and family. Make it a new tradition for 2011.
