Individuals, families, or groups may pick different varieties of apples as they ripen. The trees are semi-dwarf and easy to reach. You can pick a few or a lot, and pay by the pound ($1.50/lb)(no credit cards. We accept check, cash, and Venmo). We do not sell by the bushel. Please call for an appointment for Mon. to Thurs. or come out on Fri.(9am to 5 pm), or Sat.(9 am -5 pm) or Sun.(1pm-5pm).
Come out for this fun experience. Take lots of pictures. But if you wish to set up a professional photography session (with your own photographer), please call for an appointment. We do charge a $25 fee for a session.
We will have a hand washing station behind the shed and in the port-a-potty at the barn for your good health. We will also have hand sanitizer available. A second payment box will be located by the shed to alleviate over crowding on the front porch. We will have pumpkin barrows for your use, and please return them to a designated area after. Trash baskets will be available for white slips and instruction papers. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
