Chicken Fruit!

Here at Huck's, we strive to be a full-service farm market that provides locally grown, sensibly raised products such as apples, tomatoes, honey, eggplants, peppers and pumpkins. Most of what we sell, we raise ourselves, but from time to time, we're able to do business with small, local farms in order to offer you the best, freshest food possible.

We're pleased to announce that we have joined with Tamarack Ranch, a small, family-run hennery to offer farm-fresh brown eggs to our customers. Tamarack Ranch raises heritage breed chickens such as Dominiques, Orpingtons and Buckeyes in a free range environment, with protection from predators courtesy of livestock dogs rescued from local shelters. The hens are raised on an organic diet, supplemented with grasses and grains (and critters!) that they forage in the pasture. The resulting eggs have lower fat and cholesterol levels, 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E and *6 times* the Vitamin D of commercially raised, factory farmed chicken eggs.

Healthy. Local. Seasonal. That's what Huck's stands for and we're proud to offer that choice to our customers.

Fall Is In The Air?

Apple picking starts each day around 5am here at the Orchard, and the chill in the air this morning was a clear reminder that fall is just around the corner. We'll be coming to an end of the summer crop soon, so if you like the sweet-tart crunch of a Mollie's Delicious, don't wait too long! Just a couple more weeks and they'll be finished for the season.

Last week's warm spell is long gone, but it was just enough heat to get our warm-weather crops to ripen. And boy, are they beginning to ripen! Red, ripe tomatoes, golden yellow tomatoes, eggplants, banana peppers, bell peppers, zucchini and cucumbers are ready to go! We have everything you need to can a batch of tomato juice, soup or salsa; or if you prefer fresh instead of cooked, why not try some bruschetta made from our fresh heirloom tomatoes and sweet bell peppers?

To check on availability or for directions, give us a call at 937-323-3987.

Happy Birthday Huck!

On Monday, Huck turns 22...again! If you're out and about and in our neck of the woods this weekend, why don't you stop in and wish Huck a Happy Birthday!

Summer Is Finally Here!

It's mid-August and it would seem that summer has finally arrived in west-central Ohio. After a July with highs in the 60's and 70's, it's nice to have some warm weather! At long last, our tomatoes are beginning to ripen, the bell peppers are bright green and big as your fist and the summer apples are sweet and juicy. August is usually a dry, brown month here at the Orchard, but this year, with July's cool weather and downpours, the colors are brilliant and beautiful. Hope you're taking a chance to enjoy summer's last great "hurrah"!


While Huck's Orchard is known for it's apples, we also offer a bounty of summer veggies, fresh-picked, right from the garden. We grow the best, most delicious tomatoes; the kind that you won't find at the big box stores. There are ripe Jetstars by the bushels, and in a couple short weeks, old-timey, heirloom tomatoes that you won't find anywhere but Huck's: varieties such as Great White, Long Season Peach, Lemon Boy, Cherokee Purple, White Currant, just to name a few.
