Lehman's Orchard Apples shipped
right to your door! These apples are extra fancy top 2%
grade.
Please order apples separately, your credit card will not be
billed until the apples are shipped. Customers are amazed at
the taste, smell and texture of a fresh picked, fully tree
ripe apple. We don't pick our fruit until it's ready and
never let it ripen en-route. We almost have as much fun and satisfaction
growing these apples as our customers have eating them.

Apple shipments will start in November
this year. Thank you for your patience. Regards,
Steve Lecklider |
*Sorry we can't ship to California |

Pink Lady apples
are a cross between Golden Delicious and Lady Williams.
It's fruit is medium in size and conical in shape, with
a distinctive pink blush over a yellow background. The
fine-grained flesh of this apple is crisp and crunchy
and, because it does not brown easily after being cut,
Pink Lady is a desirable addition to fresh vegetable and
fruit salads. When eaten out-of-hand, the first bite
tastes pleasantly tart and is followed by a delicious
sweetness.

The Health Benefits of Apples
The old adage
An Apple A Day Keeps the Doctor Away may
be true!
Apples contain flavanoids, quercetin, catechins,
gallic acid, photochemicals and fiber. They may
reduce cancer risk, prevent heart attacks, help
prevent cataracts, prohibit recurring gout
attacks and speed healing from acid reflux.
Apples have also been shown to reduce the risk
of asthma, improve lung function, lower
cholesterol, prevent lipid oxidation, and
inhibit cell proliferation.

Pears

Bosc are
crunchy, and tender with a sweet-spiced flavor. They are
ideal for eating, salads, baking, broiling or poaching.
They retain their shape and texture better than other
varieties. They keep up to 6 months in the refrigerator.
|
Anjous are
very sweet and juicy when ripe, and are best when sliced
fresh in salads or eaten as a out-of-hand snack. They
are also good for baking, poaching or roasting. They do
not change color as they ripen. For bet results, place
them in a closed brown paper bag on the counter.
Depending on their level of ripeness when purchased,
Anjou pears may take between 3 and 5 days to become
fully ripe. Once ripe, you can hold them for two - four
days in the refrigerator, where the ripening process
will be slowed. |
|
Red Anjous
develop a mild, sweet flavor with very smooth texture
and abundant juices when ripe. Like the Green Anjou, Red
Anjous show little to no change in color as they ripen.
The best indication of ripeness for any pear is the the
thumb test: gentle thumb pressure near the stem will
yield slightly when the pear is ripe. You can use the
Red Anjou as the Green; they look great in salads or on
a fruit plate due to their remarkable color.
|
Comice are the sweetest and juiciest of all
varieties of pears. Their flesh is soft, and can best be
described as creamy in texture and juicy. The skin of
Comice may take on a slight yellow hue as the fruit
ripens, however color is not the best determination for
ripeness. Apply gentle thumb pressure near the stem end,
and when the fruit gives slightly, it is ready to eat.
Because Comice have very fragile skins, the pears may
appear to be bruised on the surface, but more often than
not this does not indicate damage to the juicy
interiors. |

The
Health Benefits of Pears
Pears provide a very good source of fiber and
are also a good source of vitamin B2, C, E,
copper, potassium and fiber.
Pears are effective in helping to lower
cholesterol levels and in toning the intestines.
Health care practitioners often recommend them
as a hypoallergenic fruit that is in fiber. They
are less likely to produce an adverse response
than other fruits.
