And no wonder; these Apaches are truly deli- cious, with that perfect balance of sweet and tart, and brimming with juice.\r\n\r\nWe have to pick them a bit less ripe than we pick most of\u00a0our fruits because this variety, as it ripens, will fall on the\r\n\r\nground very easily, with just the slightest breeze. But even so,\u00a0they ripen perfectly off the tree. If yours need ripening, just\u00a0leave them in a shallow bowl, on the kitchen counter and\u00a0keep an eye on them. The color will deepen and the flesh will\u00a0soften.\r\n\r\nBecky\u2019s been making crisps with them each day for several\u00a0days now and I simply cannot walk by it without grabbing a\u00a0bite or two (or three!)\r\n\r\nSoon we\u2019ll be picking cherries and the tempo will pick up\u00a0a beat here on the farm as the fruit begins to flow into the\u00a0packing shed, our processing kitchen, and then out to our\u00a0community of food lovers throughout the Bay Area and beyond!\u00a0I know you will all enjoy these amazing Apaches and they\u2019re\u00a0just the beginning of a great summer of fresh fruit ahead of\u00a0us!\r\n\r\nCelebrate the bounty and enjoy the deliciousness!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear CSA Members, Last Saturday at the Farmers\u2019 Market at the Ferry Building\u00a0people were lining up for these delicious \u201ccots\u201d, our first fruit\u00a0of the season.
