U-Pick Apple Orchard

Part of the appeal of eating local food is the knowledge that it’s been grown responsibly and with extra care. The philosophy that guides how we farm across all our crops is a commitment to ecological farming. This means balancing the needs of our crops with the health of the entire farm ecosystem, and always working to promote a balance between the two. It’s an approach that’s close to organic and combines the best of modern farming and traditional techniques. For more information, visit our Farming Practices.

Wash just before use. Apples ripen 10x faster at room temperature than when kept in a refrigerator. Chilled apples should last 90 days.

No! There is no admission fee to visit our U-Pick Apple Orchard. Simply come to the orchard, pick your favorite apples, and pay for what you harvest. Harvest Festival admission is only required if you'd like to enjoy the attractions and activities.

Our apples are sold by the pound, so you can pick as few or as many as you'd like. Pricing is posted at the orchard and checkout area during the season.

We grow several delicious apple varieties throughout the season, including favorites like Honeycrisp, Cosmic Crisp®, Ambrosia, Red Reubin, and Jonagold. Since different apples ripen at different times, the available varieties change as the season progresses.

Our apple season typically begins in early September and continues through October, depending on the weather and crop conditions. Visiting throughout the season gives you the chance to enjoy different apple varieties as they ripen.

Our orchard is clearly marked with signs showing which varieties are ready for picking. If you have any questions, our friendly farm staff is always happy to point you toward the best apples available that day.

We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and dressing for the weather. If it's been rainy, boots are always a great choice since you're visiting a real working orchard.

Most families spend about 30 minutes to an hour picking apples, though many choose to make it a full day by enjoying the Harvest Festival afterward.
