THE CROP

Multiple Varieties — What’s Ripe Changes Daily

The orchard offers a variety of apples to pick depending on what is ripe; examples range from Ginger Gold to Empire, so selections shift through the season.

THE REALITY

Smaller Crop This Year

Mother Nature and a summer drought have reduced this year’s crop; there is hope apples will be available through Thanksgiving, but availability could end sooner. The orchard will continue to offer market apples for Bag Your Own if field picking is limited.

THE VALUE

Straightforward Pricing and Group Admission

$30 secures a 10‑lb bag and includes admission for up to four people; additional persons are charged $6 each. If you book in advance and the orchard cannot offer field picking, you will be reimbursed.
