PFC’s Fall Fruit Tasting Show – Oct. 25

Peninsula Fruit Club’s 2025 Fall Fruit Tasting Show is on Saturday, October 25, at the West Side Improvement Club, 4109 West E Street, Bremerton 98312, from 10 am to 4 pm.  Join us for a fun day of fruit tasting and learning about growing fruit.  Just take the Loxie Eagans exit off Highway 3 and follow the signs.  Admission is free.  Donations are greatly appreciated.

Here’s your chance to have those mystery apples identified.  Please bring 4 to 6 samples of each kind, do not wash the fruit, leave the stems on, and store in the fridge in a paper sack.  Bring a 12” long branch with leaves in a plastic bag.  Remember paper for apples and plastic for leaves.  Label each bag so you know which tree they came from.  Tell us all you can about the apples:  When do they ripen?  How long do they keep?  How old and tall is the tree?  How big is the trunk?  All these clues help to figure out what variety of apple you have.

We’ll have a large display of different cultivars of fruit all available for tasting.  Find new favorites–choose from samples of hundreds of different varieties of apples, pears, and other fruit.  Browse our information tables.  Learn about pests, diseases, and mason bees.  Ask questions of our experts.  Stock up on supplies for next year, and find something interesting at our tree and plant sale.
