What's Special About Our Orchard:
Our apples are healthier as we spray less than other apple orchards though some of our apples may have blemishes.
Just about every other tree is a different variety of apple. The trees are not labeled. When you pick here you get a good mix of apples.
Knowing how to pick a ripe apple is essential. If you twist then pull, a ripe apple will easily come off the branch. An apple that is not ripe will not easily come off the tree and you may damage the tree if you try.
Your picking experience will be lots of fun for the openminded. If you are looking for a big orchard with rows of all one kind of apple, don't pick here.
Picking Days are Friday through Sunday 9am-5pm
Pricing: $14 1/2 peck bag for a single person
$25 1 peck bag for up to 3 people 5yrs and older.
We accept cash, credit and debit.
You will pre pay for the bag before heading into the orchard.
Please do not eat apples when in the orchard.
Children must stay with their grownup.
Do NOT throw apples on the ground, you will be given a blue bucket to put unwanted apples you may have picked.
No climbing the trees or shaking the branches.
No pets in the orchard due to health regulations.
