Pumpkins Now Available at Local Orchards

e like pumpkins for our muffins and pumpkins for pies and for our Halloween displays. We like apples for munching, and apples for pies, and ap ples for pancakes, fritters, candy apples and . . . you name it.

If it’s sweet and it’s a treat, there is probably an apple variety. If the leaves are turning in Central Virginia, it’s time to carve and to bake, and first of all to visit our local orchards, and delight in their bounty.

“Apples have been grown in Albemarle County since Thomas Jefferson’s time,” says Cynthia Chiles of Carter Mountain Orchard and Chiles Peach Orchards, whose own family has been continuously farming its land for over a century.

W“He was a big horticulturalist and grew a lot of heirloom varieties of ap ples.” Perhaps the most curious, ambi tious and eagerly experimental farmer of his day, Jefferson’s eight-acre, horseshoeshaped “Fruitery” at Monticello held 400 trees, two small vineyards, plus beds for strawberries, “berry squares” for cur rants, gooseberries, and raspberries, and a nursery to propagate plants and trees.

Jefferson grew eighteen different va rieties of apples, including the Esopus Spitzenburg, his favorite to eat, and the Taliaferro (now extinct), his favorite for cider. One year he also grew both white and black pumpkins—Zucche Bianche and Zucche nere.

Nowadays, Jeffersonian pumpkins may still be found—they’re the ones carved with his likeness!

Latter day Virginians share his en thusiasm. More than just tasting great,

apples are big business in Virginia; the state ranks sixth in the nation in apple production. Approximately $30 million is added to the state’s economy each year through the sale of fresh market apples and products such as applesauce, pro cessed apple slices, apple butter, apple juice and cider. In addition, there are the tourism dollars, generated by the many regional apple festivals.

Our more than 100 apple growers produce an average of 5-6 million bushels annually on more than 16,000 acres of land. Their most popular varieties in clude Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Rome, Stayman, Gala, Winesap, York, Granny Smith, Jonathan, Fuji and Ginger Gold, but …... Let’s look around.

Drumheller’s Orchard

Let’s start in Nelson County. Drum heller’s Orchard in Lovingston has been family-owned and operated since 1937, when Everette and Eva Drumheller pur chased the property and planted peach and apple trees in its abandoned orchard.

“My mother-in-law and father-in law bought this place,” Doris Drumheller remembers. “My husband went in busi ness with his father from 16-17 years old until he passed away at 64.” That’s when Doris took it over, in 2005.

“We’re just trying to carry on. My in-laws were the first generation, my husband was the second, and my son is with me now, so he’s the third gen eration. Now his daughter is working with us, so actually we’re into the fifth generation here. It’s hard work, but it’s a good life being on the farm.”

Head out to Drumheller’s this time of year and you’ll find a variety of ripe

apples: Stayman, Winesap, Rome, Black Twig, Fuji, and Granny Smith. Soon there will also be Pink Lady and Arkan sas Black.

Drumheller’s holds two apple festi vals per year, one on the last weekend in September and another on the third weekend in October—that’s October 15 and 16 this year. Besides apples, apple butter, and non-pasteurized, preservativefree apple cider, you’ll find honey, side meat, country hams, pumpkins, baked goods, baskets and cookbooks, etc. The side meat and country ham are cured in southern Virginia.

Drumheller’s apple butter comes, of course, from an old family recipe. The local Ruritan Club will sell barbequed chicken and barbeque sandwiches, plus hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and drinks. Other vendors will offer funnel cakes, pork skins, apple dumplings, and Bruns wick stew.

But a festival is more than food—it’s also fun. Expect activities for all ages, including hayrides to the pumpkin patch, an apple sling shot, a kids zone, and good country music.

“We have this thing called the Apple Slingshot,” Doris Drumheller says. “Peo ple just go wild about it.” For the price of a ticket, festivalgoers shoot small apples; sharpshooters win bigger ones.

Then there is the Drumheller’s Corn Maze. “We go through and cut out a pattern,” she says, “and they pay to go through. We give them a little card when they pay. We put about ten stations in there and they mark the stations, and if they can find every station and com plete their cards we give them a peck of apples.”

Silver Creek & Seamans’ Orchards

Also in Nelson County, Silver Creek & Seamans’ Orchards (SCSO) is a family (or rather, families) affair as well, dating back to the 30’s. Today the orchard grows about 25 varieties of apples, including Jonathan, Red Delicious, Golden Deli cious, Virginia Gold, Mutsu, Jonagold, September Wonder (Early Fuji) and Em pire, and presses its own cider.

Silver Creek and Seamans’ Orchard is open seven days a week; the Seamans Pumpkin Patch is open to visitors through the end of October; come pick your own apples rain or shine through October 22. Call ahead to see what variet ies are available.

The Seaman and Flippin families have been holding Apple Butter Makin’ Festi vals on the first and third Saturdays in October for over 30 years. Festivalgoers also get to pick their own pumpkins and wander through a corn maze.

Theirs is apple butter made “the oldfashioned way,” constantly stirred as it cooks in large copper kettles. The 2022 Festivals are set for October 1 and 15 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Graves Mountain Lodge

Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria in Madison County is a rustic retreat that prides itself on down home hospitality, home cooked food, and a beautiful Blue Ridge view. The Graves family opened the Lodge in 1965, on land it has owned since 1857. Graves will hold its annual Apple Festival on the weekends of Oc

tober 1 and 2, 8 and 9, and 15 and 16. Come pick your own apples, and enjoy live bluegrass music and clogging, plus the hayrides, pony rides, and donkey and cart rides around the longhorn pasture.

Kids will love the farmyard with its goats, pet pigs, and pet calf. Some 70 crafters and vendors will be on hand. Pumpkins, gourds, apple preserves, apple butter, and apple butter donuts will be for sale, as will fresh apple cider and Graves Mountain Squeeze hard cider, funnel cakes, Brunswick stew, barbequed pork sandwiches, burgers, dogs, pork rinds, kettle corn, french fries, and home made ice cream.

John for a no pressure

The beer and wine tent will have hard cider on draft, Graves Mountain apple wine, DuCard Vineyards wine, and Beer Hound Craft beers.

Carter Mountain Orchard and Chiles Peach Orchard

Albemarle County’s Chiles family has been growing peaches and apples since 1912, and first began selling them by the roadside. “My two great grandfathers planted our first peach and apple trees over in Crozet,” says fourth generation farmer Cynthia Chiles. Third, fourth, and fifth generation members of the family are still planting, pruning, picking, and

providing fresh fruit to Central Virginia and beyond.

The Chiles family began operating Carter Mountain Orchard, just down the road from Monticello, in the 1970s, and began selling peaches and apples in 1974 after a bad freeze left them too little fruit to sell wholesale. Left with so little fruit that the usual picking and packing routine wasn’t worth its while, the family put an ad in the paper, set up a card table, scales and a cigar box—and hoped. It worked.

They sold out, and what was meant to be a one-time, emergency measure be came an annual April through November,

FEATURE

bought a small farm in North Garden, named it Rural Ridge after Rural Plains, the Shelton family seat in eastern Virgin ia, and built their dream house. With the help of their four children, Bud planted apple, pear, peach, and cherry trees.

Inspired by the heirloom apple tast ings conducted at Monticello by author and apple historian Tom Burford, in 1992 the Sheltons purchased trees from Burford’s own orchard. Today Burford, known as “Professor Apple,” serves as their orchard consultant, and the Shel tons sell several dozen kinds of apples.

In 2000 the family founded Vintage Virginia Apples, and in 2009 it opened Albemarle CiderWorks. Among their thirteen varietals on sale are Old Vir ginia Winesap (with notes of baked apple, cedar, and strawberry), and Brut D’Albemarle (a champagne-style cider crafted from the juice of Albemarle Pip pins).

Saturday and Sunday afternoons at Albemarle Ciderworks are for Live Music at the Orchard. Susan Munson and Frank Bechter, local songwriters who call themselves Mojo Pie, perform Saturday, October 15. C’ville Jazz Con gregation visits the orchard on Sunday, October 16.

Vintage Virginia Apples and the Cove Garden Ruritan Club will hold their 22nd annual Apple Harvest Festival, rain or shine, on Saturday, November 5 from

10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with farmers’ market stands, local artisans, and craft demonstrations. Enjoy Brunswick stew, apples and apple butter, fresh-pressed cider and fine sparkling ciders, and dance to live music or take a hayride around the mountain. The winner of the Apple Pie Contest will receive a $100 Vintage Virginia Apples and Albemarle Cider Works gift certificate.

The Market at Grelen

Many visitors to James Madison’s Montpelier estate in Orange County have a charming outdoor lunch at The Market at Grelen, only three miles from our fourth president’s home. Grelen is a 1,000-acre tree nursery and pick-yourown farm, with a European-style garden shop, a casual farm-to-table cafe, and hiking trails that connect to Montpe lier’s own.

Grelen is currently “loaded with ap ples, specifically Gala, Jonagold & Golden Delicious.” Pre-picked paw paws are also for sale, and pre-picked figs may be avail able by the time you get there. Pick Your Own hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday. BYOB (bag).

“Season of mists and mellow fruitful ness” is how John Keats described this time of year in England, in first lines of his lovely poem, To Autumn. He may as well have been writing about Central Virginia.
