Tony T's Apple Farm began in 2004 and was part of Front Royal's Harmony Hollow Orchard which dates back to 1911. Our 185+ apple trees qualify as organic because we do not use any pesticides and meet the guidelines established by the Organic Materials Research Institute (OMRI.) Also, our cider production and kitchen operations have been CERTIFIED by the Virginia Department of Food and Agriculture.
The apples used in our APPLE DUMPLINGS, however, are not from the "Farm" since we needed to find a "flavor" that would be consistently available from June through October...the run of the Front Royal Farmers Market where our baked goods are marketed. www.FrontRoyalFarmersMarket.com
We also bake a very moist ORANGE/WALNUT CAKE that comes in a choice of shapes...Star Cake (1 piece), Crop of Cupcakes (5 pieces), Valley of Volcanos (5 pieces), Tray of Teacakes (9 pieces), and our also-unique Den of Dinosaurs (4 pieces).
Based on several requests, we have started to bake a GLUTEN FREE product, our very dense and sinfully delicious DEVIL'S FOOD VALLEY OF VOLCANOS WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS. Even those who are not gluten free "erupt" about them!
Our organically grown apples are available at the Farmers Market as early as July...starting with LODI, then McINTOSH, then HARMONY GOLD, then SHEEPNOSE, and ending with STAYMAN in September/October. (Other "flavors" are also used in our hand-pressed organic apple CIDER.)
During the BERRY season (June & July) we have wild and organic BLACK CAPS, WINEBERRIES (a red raspberry), and BLACK "THIMBLE" BERRIES.
The "FARM" also has a two-hive apiary from which we harvest in late summer our very-popular natural HONEY.
We also have an "old time" APPLE PRESS through which we hand-press natural and ORGANIC CIDER.
