5 PICK-your-own rules

We’re happy to welcome guests who help us protect our crops, trees and farm by following these important rules:

​

• Tickets are required. Whether you are picking or not, tickets are required for every individual ages 3+.

• Pick only where directed. Fields and orchards may be closed for a variety of reasons, including crop readiness, growing conditions, safety or farm operations. Please pick only in the areas currently open and use the designated container for that crop.

• Your purchase determines your access. The purchase of a fruit container provides access only to the designated picking area. 

• Please do not enter other fields or orchards without purchasing the appropriate container.

• Personal bags are subject to inspection. If you choose to bring a personal bag into the orchard, it will be subject to inspection upon exit.

• Please do not overfill your container. All fruit must fit securely inside the container without being held in place by your hands, arms or body. Overfilled containers will result in an additional charge upon exit.

School Trips, groups & Birthday Parties 

FULLY BOOKED FOR 2026

We warmly welcome groups to come to the farm. We have found those planning corporate outings, field trips and birthday parties are looking for 4 things: apple picking, donuts, cider and a place to have a bite to eat. Here's what we recommend:

​

• Step 1: Reserve apple picking bags here or just purchase upon arrival. You'll pay at pick up once you have your final count.

• Step 2: Pre-order cider donuts. $12/dozen, 2 dozen minimum.

• Step 3: Upon arrival on the farm, pick up your apple picking bags and donuts at the registers in the farm store. Before you get to the counter, grab gallons of sweet cider from the fridge. Don't forget to bring your own cups. $9/gallon. 

• Step 4: Make yourself comfortable at the picnic tables under the tent or on the main lawn. We do not reserve tables but the entire farm community is gracious and make space for one another. We do not offer lunch to groups but welcome you to bring or have your own food delivered.

​​

Hayrides

All pick-your-own orchards are within walking distance. (3-10 minutes.) Hayrides run Saturdays and Sundays 9-4 from September 5 - October 23 weather pending. Free with the purchase of any picking container or $5 per person ages 3+. Hayrides do not run on weekdays.

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

​

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. Drones are not permitted on the farm.​
