Time for Fall Break Fun!

By

Fall is here which means lots of pumpkins, apples, mums, and fun times at Hinton’s Orchard!

The month of October at the farm is the most fun of the year.  If you have students on fall brOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAeak the week of October 3 – 9, the hayride wagon will be running to the pumpkin patch each day and our play area and corn maze are open during regular business hours.  Pick your pumpkin from the patch where it grew or choose from the hundreds that are already picked.  Shop in our market for yummy apples, fresh apple cider, tasty ice cream and much more!  Saturday, October 8th is Hinton’s PumpkinFest, a day filled with fall fun and great food!

At our Elizabethtown store, you will find mums in a variety of colors, sizes, and containers as well as fresh from the farm apples, pumpkins, and apple cider.  Although you cannot pick your pumpkin from the patch in Elizabethtown, you can no doubt find just what you are looking for to decorate for fall.

Spend a day at the farm with us in Hodgenville or stop by for just what you need in Elizabethtown.  Either way, if you need it for fall, Hinton’s has it!

Open Monday – Saturday 9 am – 6 pm and Sunday 1 – 6 pm throughout the month of October.

The temperatures may not yet reflect it, but fall is nearly here!  With fall comes the apple harvest at Hinton’s Orchard.  In both markets you will find apples, pears, and plums.  A few summer vegetables are still harvesting too — squash, zucchini, potatoes, peppers, onions, and tomatoes.  Fresh apple cider is in season also!

The Elizabethtown market has a nice supply of mums for your fall decorating needs.  Mums will arrive at the Farm Market by September 10th.

Hours for both markets are Monday – Saturday 9 am – 6 pm and Sundays 1 – 6 pm.  We hope to see you soon at a Hinton’s Orchard market!

Summer Veggies & June Apples

By

LodiAppleEarly apple season has arrived at Hinton’s Orchard!  Lodi “June” apple harvest has begun.  If you don’t know these apples, they are great for cooking, frying, or making applesauce.  The taste is very sour so only the bravest customers eat them raw, but Lodis are a favorite for cooking.

Garden vegetables are also beginning to ripen.  Find fresh picked squash, zucchini, cucumbers, and broccoli from Hinton’s gardens as well as local tomatoes and potatoes, and sweet Vidalia onions.  More vegetables will continue to be added in the coming weeks as well.

If you still need to complete your flower beds and home gardens, Hinton’s has many nice options remaining and all flowers are now 20% off. Bedding plants, hanging baskets, and flower pots are still plentiful.  You will also still find a nice selection of bedding flowers and herbs.  If you haven’t finished the vegetable garden, many garden plants are now 50% off, so there is no reason to delay any longer!

Stop in at either Hinton’s Orchard location for what you need today.  If you need it, Hinton’s has it!  Farm market hours are Monday – Saturday 9 am – 6 pm.  Elizabethtown market hours are Monday – Saturday 9 am – 6 pm and Sunday Noon – 5.

Peach Blooms 2013

Peach trees are blooming at Hinton’s Orchard!

Spring has arrived and so has a new season at Hinton’s Orchard & Farm Market!  2016 marks our 10th year of business and we will be celebrating with fun activities all year.  The biggest celebration will be the official opening of our Elizabethtown location on April 1st.  The former Three Springs Farm location is being transformed so that we can provide not only the flowers and plants that you expect from Three Springs, but all of the fruits, veggies, and great things to eat that you expect from Hinton’s!

Plan a trip to get your fix of fresh baked bread, homemade peanut butter, apple butter, or whatever your crave is from the winter!  While you are there, pick up early vegetable plants, seed potatoes, and pansies.  More flowers will be added as the weather continues to warm up and planting season begins.

The Hinton’s Orchard Elizabethtown market will be open Monday – Saturday 9 am – 6 pm.  Additional hours will be added during the busier season.  Our Farm market will open on Wednesday, April 20.

We hope to see you soon at a Hinton’s Orchard location!
