The Happy Apple

‘Tis the season to show those special ones near and far how much you care! Let D.O. help you find something for everyone! Take advantage of Delicious Orchards’ Mail Order and ship someone a box of delicious goodies that won’t disappoint.  There are choices from just donuts, fruit & bakery, to fruit & gourmet assortment and all that’s in-between.

So sit back and browse the website from the comfort of your couch (or office!) and make someone’s holiday a little more delicious!

It’s an exciting week around our store as preparations are made (along with a lot of pies!) for delicious Thanksgiving celebrations near and far! Whether it’s the turkey on the table or the delicious side dishes using the freshest produce around or the apple cider poured in the glasses or the pies at dessert, we really feel thankful to be a part of your holiday traditions!

Our extended holiday hours start on Saturday and continue through Wednesday, which means we are open on Monday! And we are guaranteed to have our pumpkin and apple pies the week of Thanksgiving.

From our D.O. family to yours, we wish you a happy and delicious Thanksgiving!

Please note our extended holiday hours!

September is here and while the days may still be warm outside, we welcome the changing of seasons with the return of pumpkin pie and all things apple! With the traditional apple pies, apple cider donuts, apple strudels, apple turnovers, apple fritters, fresh pressed apple cider (are you still with us?!) filling the store, we also have fun unique items like apple butter, apple grilling sauce, apple flavored tea, and more!

And what else to better kick off the fall season than our annual Apple Fest on Saturday September 7 & 8 from 11am-4pm! We’ll have plenty of fun with live music, games, and also plenty of apples!

So while the sandy summer days still linger in our memory, let’s celebrate the return of one of the most delicious times of the year!

Summer is the best time to bring a dish to a BBQ or last minute gathering! Fresh produce so often makes such a simple crowd-pleasing dish. Whether you slice up some watermelon and serve it on a tray, rinse some fresh berries and call it a day, or even put together a little dish of sliced tomato and mozzarella (garnished with some basil and a drizzle of EVOO and balsamic, too!), D.O. makes it easy for you with fresh ingredients!

You can even get festive for the Fourth with red, white, and blue. Ingredients include fresh berries and Delicious Orchards Gold Cake. Add whipped cream to the mix for those who want a little extra sweet! This cake paired with fruit is tasty enough to squash that sweet-tooth craving and yet still leaves you with enough room for s’mores around the fire! (Or is that just our household who doubles up on dessert?!)

Want to serve this as dessert? Slice up the cake and put it on a serving dish. Add the berries and bring a can of whipped cream to leave on the table next to it. Feel like you have an extra minute or two? You can cube the Gold Cake to make it bite sized! Or stick the ingredients on skewers for a fun summer dessert kabob! Anyway you serve it, it will be sure to please!

Warm sunny days, apple cider on the patio, flowers in bloom and Jersey produce heading to the shelves of Delicious Orchards… just a few reasons why it’s a great time of year! It’s easy to bring the kids on a sunny day, grab lunch from the Cider Bar Cafe and let them run around on the grass. It’s fun to browse the outdoor patio flowers and herbs. And of course, you can’t leave without taking home some fresh Jersey-grown produce to enjoy. With summer BBQs on the horizon, there’s nothing quite like the flavors of spring at D.O.
