How to Contact Us - Sunrise Orchards, Inc.

Dear Sunrise Orchards Customers,
2012 Sunrise Calendar - Dates of Interest
I t is once again that time of the year... time to start thinking about fall and Sunrise apples. What a year it has been
AUGUST (Hours of Business: 9am to 5pm daily)
11 We will open our retail doors today!
here at Sunrise Orchards!!! When you make your annual trip to the orchard this year, you may notice a little more gray
hair on many of us. That is what happens when there is a lack of rain and temperatures in Wisconsin are in the 80вЂ™s
and 90вЂ™s for the month of March and then in the 20вЂ™s in April. While many people were enjoying the warm month of
March, we knew there were big problems ahead and yes we were right. While we were in full bloom, the temperatures
then decided to go into the 20вЂ™s. This is when all of the worrying began. But with a lot of praying, a little luck, very
active bees for pollinating and other things that we are not sure of, we are happy to say that we have a beautiful
crop of apples here at Sunrise for the 2012 season. We feel very fortunate and blessed with crop that we have
for our customers this year.

A Sunrise Orchard Cookbook ... Not Quite Enough!
A
great big вЂњThank YouвЂќ to those of you
who sent in, called in and e-mailed in
your favorite recipe to be put in our
вЂњSunrise CookbookвЂќ. The total number submitted was 263... NOT QUITE ENOUGH! We
are hoping for over 500 recipes to make this one
of the best recipe books you could have in your
cupboard. We are going to try it again this year.

your family cherish and would like to share with
the wonderful cooks that make a trip to Sunrise
Orchards each year. Apple recipes are great, but
we are looking for all of your favorites! We are
hoping to complete our task for the 2013 apple
season and have the best recipe book around!
DonвЂ™t forget to include your name, city and state
where you live along with your recipe!
Yes! We are on Facebook. Due to some strong determination by one of the younger
generations here at Sunrise, we are now very active on Facebook. Pictures are posted
weekly of things that are happening along with updates on things to come.
A fun way to really know what is happening here at Sunrise!
Eating Apples Does
Keep the Doctor Away!!
Already known for being a healthy snack, apples have now
been linked to lowering the risk of developing type 2 diabetes,
according to a new research study. The long term study
recently published in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition found that participants who ate 5 or more apples
per week had a 23% lower risk of developing the disease.
Apples are a nutritious, healthy and everyday food.
They have been associated with helping to improve outcomes related to everything from weight loss to different
types of cancer, heart disease and even asthma. Adding
type 2 diabetes to the list proves even more that вЂњAn Apple
A Day Keeps the Doctor Away!вЂќ

Sunrise Orchards Available Apple Varieties
We are often asked when apples are ripe and which variety is best for
eating, baking, etc. This helpful chart can guide you through what
varieties to use вЂ” and when. Weather is very important in the ripening
process and we do not pick our apples until they are ready to eat.
Please note: These are approximate ripening dates. ItвЂ™s best to call ahead if you are coming
for a certain variety (608-735-4645) or check the updated variety chart at SunriseApples.com
