U-Pick Apples

Our apple orchard is the perfect spot to create lasting memories with your family. Our U-Pick orchard opens in early September each Fall and begins with McIntosh and Honey Gold. Other varieties are available for U-Pick throughout the season as they ripen. Please note, at this time we do not have a wagon ride that takes you to the orchard. Guests will need to walk. We do have wagons available to bring your apples back to your vehicle.

Our apple selection varies on seasonality. Check back often to see what we have available for market and u-pick selection.
