2025 Pick-Your-Own Calendar

Fall Season


Apple Picking

Don’t forget about our famous apples that draw visitors from all over, making it one of the most vibrant and bustling seasons at the farm. Our apple-picking begins in late August and continues through mid-October. The farm has five orchards with over 60 varieties of apples. Some of these apples are perfect for eating and baking, while others are used to make our famous sweet and hard apple cider. 


Pumpkin Stand

Nothing welcomes the fall season more than pumpkins! In our fall outdoor pumpkin stand at the farm store, you’ll find a large selection of pumpkins, gourds, specialty pumpkins, corn stalks, and bales of hay to take home. Grab your pumpkin from early-September until mid-October. While our sugar pumpkins are to carve and create jack-o'-lanterns, our assorted gourds are best used for decoration.


Hayrides

All pick-your-own orchards are within walking distance. (3-10 minutes.) Hayrides run Saturdays and Sundays 9:30 am - 4 pm. September 3 - October 19 weather pending. Free with the purchase of any picking container or $5 per person ages 3+.
