Additional Information
Hello and welcome FALL 2024! For those of you that don't know we are open at the orchard all year long, 7 days a week. We are closed only on major holidays or if the weather is too bad.
As I am writing this we are selling the last of our peaches and we are picking apples, this means the fruit summer is ending and the fruit fall is starting early this season.
The main changes this year is our UPIC program. We had several frost/freeze events occur during our apple bloom this spring. The majority of the lower limbs are light on apples. Cold air is heavier than warm air so the coldest temperatures are only a few feet from the ground. So the majority of apples are in the top of the trees this year and since we are not allowed to provide ladders to customers there will be a limited amount of apples to pick.
Upic apples start on 9/14, we will only be offering upic on Saturdays 9am -5 pm and Sundays 10am - 5pm. There will be no cars allowed in the orchard, you can walk out or ride the wagon ride that goes through our decorated forrest on the way to the apple orchard. The cost of the ride is $3 for anyone over the age of 2. We anticipate 10/13 (last day of the apple festival) to be our last day for apple picking so please plan accordingly.
