Letter to our Wonderful Customers, 

As you have heard on the news and elsewhere, there is an apple shortage across the US. Our Ohio and surrounding states have had severe damage due to the Spring frosts, Summer droughts, and hail.  Many of our friends and neighboring farms have few or no apples.  Some are not opening this year, and our hearts go out to them.  They have been and will remain in our prayers. 

One problem we are encountering is customers informing us they’ve heard we didn’t have any apples.  We have a beautiful crop this year, and consider ourselves to be very blessed. As we have said over and over this year, we are elevated twice!  First, our farm is at a high elevation, and second, our wonderful customers and friends have elevated us in prayer! 

We truly appreciate you.  The Pick-Your-Own was enjoyed by all who participated.  Thanks to all who helped us harvest our beautiful apple crop and those who helped with wagon rides, helping in the orchard, during the Apple Harvest Festivals, and all that happens during September and October here at Monroe's Orchard.  

Again, we are amazed by the blessings of the Lord, and the care and love of our customers. 

We'll have apples and our delcious apple cider until Christmas.  We'll be thinking of you all on Thanksgiving Day as well, when we are expressing why we are thankful.

The Monroe Family

Thank you for your patronage! 

I recently had a customer leave with a smile, and I told her to have a good day, she told me that if she had good food, that was all she needed for a smile!

I wanted to thank the customer/friend that dropped off the book, "The Shack"!  What a wonderful story that made me laugh and cry, and appreciate how much God loves me!  I highly recommend it. Thank you so much!
