Fall is here, which means it's time to pick apples, and quickly

You may feel you may feel more comfortable leaving your house to go out.

With it now being fall... news 10's bri shackelford lets you know if you should be getting pumpkins and apples sooner....rather than later.

[take pkg incue: it's fall which outcue: back to you duration:1:40] it's fall...which means it's apple season....and pumpkin season.

So.... i went to ditzler's orchard today to see when you should go to pick up your apples...and your pumpkins.

One of the owners of this orchard says its been a very busy season so far.

"street festivals and things have shut down, families are wanting to do things together so they are coming out to the orchard.

And we have had a lot of families coming to the orchard, and its been a lot of fun for us to have them here."

This is an apple orchard as well as a pumpkin farm.

But while business has been good....ditzler says she is worried.

This year on may 9th there was a freeze.

This freeze ended up killing off 90% of their apples.

"so we don't have a lot of apples.

We're pressing cider today.

We have to buy more than half of our cider apples in from other orchards because we don't have them in the orchard to press."

But there is good news....they do still have apples...and other produce.

They are doing you-pick saturday's and sunday's.

Ditzler says shes hoping to have the you-pick apples through the month of october.

But....they are only doing self pick pumpkins thorugh the month of september.

After that...the pumpkins will be availible for you to choose up front.

"our pumpkins did really well this year.

We have a lot of nice pumpkins that grew in the field.

And we've kind of focused on specialty pumpkins so we have some specialty, novelty pumpkins."

Br} ditzler says their orchard will remain open as long as they can.

But...they encourage you to come before everything is gone.

Reporting from the orchard...im news 10's bri shackelford.

Back to you.
