There are limted quantities of some varieties. Please call to reserve specific quantities. We try to accomodate all requests to the best of our ability on a first come, first served basis. Apples are sold in our sales shed in 5 pound bags. Apple seconds are in 1 peck bags or half bushel bags depending on variety.
Pick Your Own Apples
U-Pick apples begins Saturday, August 17th, available Wednesdays through Sundays until all the accessible apples have been picked. Bring the whole family (sorry, no pets are allowed) and make an afternoon of exploring the orchard and its over 8,000 apple trees of dozens of varieties. A mininum 1/4 peck apple bag purchase is required for every person entering the orchard whether they intend to pick apples or not.
While all apple trees in the orchard are open to tour, some varieties are not ready to be picked until later in the season. Please call to verify what varieties are being picked during your planned visit.
Large group outings please call and make a reservation.
