Until the end of the month, anyone can pick their baskets with fresh Hungarian apples, because in October many places in the country are waiting for Pick yourself! horticulture offers those who want to harvest with a special offer.
According to information available on the website of the Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Association, FruitVeb, this year's apple harvest is already in full swing. The so-called Take it yourself! promotions create a great opportunity to purchase fruit in larger quantities at a more favorable price. However, the harvest also provides an opportunity to get to know the producer and the growing conditions.
According to FruitVeb, the owners of the plantations offer different prices to customers in different parts of the country. However, consumers preparing for the harvest should prepare for slightly higher prices this year, as the lowest apple harvest of the past 10 years is expected due to the extreme drought. According to the estimate of the inter-professional organization, the individual varieties can be purchased at an average price of HUF 200-400 per kilo.
Before anyone visits the horticulture participating in the campaign, it is worth finding out about the current opening hours, location and assortment news, and in most cases it is also recommended to make a prior telephone consultation and check-in. It is preferable to prepare your own buckets and compartments, which can be fully harvested after the entrance weighing. Those interested can also find the addresses and opening hours of the nurseries participating in the promotion on the FruitVeb website.
