Good question GS, no thank goodness-- or we would never get them in the cooler because we pick all the fruit in house==only pickers on our farm is me and my business partner (my son Zach) and the public (PYO). Our first apples are ready Aug 15, our last apples are ready Nov 5. When fruit is ready it has a window of a week to 10 days depending on the weather when it should be picked.
