Apples in Abundance

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

If you are looking for a great apple, look no further!  Dave grows an amazing number of apple varieties for the market.  My favorite?  SweeTango(R) is so flavorful, crisp, and juicy that it is hard to beat!  It’s not only a great fresh apple, but also adds a special note to salads and makes wonderful apple crisp and pie.  If you haven’t tried SweeTango(R) apples yet, you owe it to your taste buds to give them a try!  We hope to have them for another month or so (depending upon demand).

Just visit Rennhack Orchards Market from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday (we’re open through Dec. 30) and you can try an apple that is new to you!  Just inside the front doors (to your left) is a nice long shelf covered with apple varieties to sample.  From old favorites like Cortland, to newer varieties like Honeycrisp(TM) and SweeTango(R), from A (Ambrosia) to Z (Zestar!), there is sure to be a variety that suits you!   And remember those out-of-town friends and relatives who would love to receive a taste of Oceana County from you–we ship apples as well as gift baskets!  Happy munching!

Surprising and Good Cookie Mixes

Friday, November 5th, 2010

We always offer free samples at Rennhack Orchards Market in Hart.  Our apple varieties are always available to try, on the fresh fruit sampling shelf just inside the front doors (to your left as you enter).  Our sampling station on the wall behind the counter area is used for pantry items such as jams, salsas, and more.  Today I sampled Chocolate Chip Cherry Chipotle Cookies.  Yes, Chipotle!  It adds a surprising kick to these very tasty cookies.  We sell this gourmet cookie mix, as well as many other mixes from Creekside Grains in Traverse City.  Michael & Loretta develop recipes themselves, with the best ingredients.  They tweak them until they are just right!  (The rejects got fed to their neighborhood squirrels, which took to peering into the windows waiting for their handouts!)  We are happy to carry products that are made in West Michigan by small family businesses.

2010 Parents vs. Child Apple Taste-Off Results

Monday, September 13th, 2010

The people have spoken, and once again, SweeTango(R) apples are the clear winner!  We offered samples of our Honeycrisp (mom), Zestar! (dad), and SweeTango(R) (child) to festivalgoers at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes Apple & BBQ Cook-Off Festival on Saturday.  After sampling all three varieties, tasters voted for their favorite.  Of the 472 votes placed this year, 237 were for SweeTango(R) apples.  Honeycrisp came in a distant second, with 132 votes, and Zestar! followed with 103 votes.  Thanks to all of the people who participated in this tasty contest!  Of course, our apples are available at our market until they are sold out, and we offer free samples there, too.
