Group Bookings at Cider Hill Farm

We've gone ahead and made it easy! Book your apple or blueberry picking experience here with a simple range of guest attendance. We will have additional picking containers available so you can just show up and know that your group is ready to pick even if you have more or fewer partiers than expected! Payment will be required at the time of receiving your picking containers unless otherwise discussed with a farm manager.

We do have a large event tent with many picnic tables. You are more than welcome to set your party up on 1-2 picnic tables; however, this space is also open to all farm guests. We also offer the option to reserve a semi-private tent for 30 people up to 3 hours (not required).

We do allow outside food and non-alcoholic beverages on our farm. We do ask that any large amounts of garbage - pizza boxes, cake boxes etc- are brought with you when you leave. We do not allow ANY outside alcoholic beverages to be consumed on our property. We are unable to offer refrigeration or storage on the property so please plan accordingly.

You may upgrade your package to include a cider donut for each person and during fall, a 6 oz cup of cider.

Alternatively, pre-order cider donuts here for pick up on the day of your visit and then just grab gallons of cider in the farm store when you pick up your donuts at the registers. Easy! Don't forget to bring your own cups if you order this way.

We LOVE that you want to spend this special day with us! While we don't offer formal birthday party packages, we do offer blueberry and apple picking experiences for your group as well as the option to book a semi-private 30 person tent for 3 hours (not required). To book your pick-your-own experience, just reserve your picking containers and they will be ready for pick up and payment. You may adjust the number of bags upon arrival.

We do not offer this option for tulip, strawberry, raspberry or other pick-you-own experiences because of the short nature of the season. We do make blueberry picking an option for groups mid-July and late-August. Ask about adding a flower cutting experience to summer and early fall events.

We run hayrides on Saturdays and Sundays for festivals! Based on the volume of farm guests we have on weekends, we are unable to block off single rides for groups. However, get your group together in line and our hayride team will work hard to keep you all together. Happy picking!

We keep things simple and easy and do not allocate any staff members to your party unless you book the semi-private event tent. When you arrive for your party, simply check into the information booth (or store if the booth is closed that day). Your picking bags will be waiting! As always, our staff are available to answer any questions if needed. Enjoy the farm and your festivities!
