2026 Pick Your Own Season

Cider Hill Farm is home to an abundance of fruit and flowers that you can pick starting in April and ending in October. Each season offers new options that are ripe and ready to be picked. It’s important to note that certain fruits and flowers may only be available during specific months. Explore when and how to pick-your-own at Cider Hill Farm. 

summer Season 

Strawberry Picking

early june - end june

Strawberry picking kicks off in early June and wraps up by the end of the month. While the strawberry picking is on the shorter side, you’ll be able to explore our farm’s five strawberry fields. Growing these strawberries takes a lot of hard work (and the fields are rotated every 3 years), but the delicious result makes it worthwhile. 

Blueberry Picking

early july - september

As one of the longest fruit-picking seasons at our farm, pick-your-own blueberries starts in early July and ends in September. We have three blueberry fields and 11 varieties that you can choose from. Plus, all of our blueberries are great for freezing. 

Peach Picking

late july - september

Our peach trees span about 10 acres with five peach orchards and 20 different varieties of peaches. Peach picking starts in late July and goes until September; while some of our peaches are ready to pick in late July, others reach peak ripeness in late August. Soak in the sunshine as you walk the beautiful orchards and pick from our many peach trees. 

Flower Cutting

Mid july - Mid september

At Cider Hill Farm, we offer over 25 varieties of flowers, from zinnias to lisianthus, snapdragons, cosmos, amaranth, millet, carnations, marigolds, strawflowers, celosia, herbs, stock, dahlias, sunflowers, and coneflowers. Our garden opens early to mid-July and closes in mid-September. 

Blackberry & Raspberry Picking

late june - late july

Raspberries and blackberries begin to ripen in summer, so each bite is sweeter, juicier, and more flavorful. Our raspberry picking season begins in late June and ends in late July, while our blackberry season picks up in July and ends in August.

Cherry Picking

EARLY july

Sweet and tart cherries ripen in early July and because our cherry orchards are still quite young, the cherry season will stretch longer in the coming years.
