Pick Your Own Apples

Apple Picking begins on Labor Day Weekend, and Runs Through the last weekend of October
Saturday & Sundays: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (and Labor Day Monday)

Apple Crop Update: August 29, 2010: We would like to inform all our customers of our bout with Mother Nature this year. Late May and early June our fields were sporadically hit by hail...some varieties of apples hit worse than others. You will see some fruit with damage. Most of the damage is facial/cosmetic. Please look at your fruit very carefully before you pick.

VISA & MASTERCARD ACCEPTED IN ALL "U-PICK" FIELDS

For many families throughout the region, a trip to the orchard has become a family tradition!

Your family adventure begins with a free wagon ride into the orchards, and each family is given as many picking bags as you need. All our apple trees are dwarf trees and grown so that the fruit is reachable from the ground. We have many varieties of apples throughout the season...check the chart below for the approximate dates that you favorites usually come in season.

Be sure you bring your camera for some photo memories you will long treasure!
