Pets

Please leave pets at home.

While we LOVE our furry friends, too, pets are not permitted on farm property per regulations set by the State's Health Department.​

​

Birthday Parties & School Tours 

Feel free!

While we don't offer formal packages, please enjoy the farm for your celebration or outing. Feel free to reserve children's picking bags or pre-purchase family-size bags approx. 72 hrs in advance as tickets become live. Option to pre-order cider donuts for pick up in the farm store is nice but not necessary. We are donut making machines every single day all fall!

​

Payment Methods

We accept cash, credit, debit and apple pay. We accept SNAP benefits in the Farm Store.

​

Photographers/Mini Sessions

We welcome photographers and their clients to utilize the farm as a backdrop to family photos. All photography must happen during business hours 8 am - 6 pm. Orchards all close at 6 pm so please plan accordingly. Anyone entering the orchard must purchase a picking bag including families here for photo sessions. This works out well though as it's a nice option to have your families able to pick apples on the way out or as part of the photo session.​
