2017 Season Now Over

November 8, 2017 by orchardartwork

Yes, the orchard is officially CLOSED for the season.

While we aren’t keeping regular business hours past 11/5, we do still have frozen cider and pre-picked apples available. Just call ahead to schedule a pickup time.

THANKS – Thank you to everyone who joined us in the orchard this fall.  We had a great time reconnecting with friends who have visited us year after year.  And, we got to meet a bunch of new folks who we are glad to welcome to our orchard family.

What are we doing in the off-season?  Oh, this and that — tucking the trees in for a long winter’s nap, corralling those pumpkin barrows, convincing our trusty John Deere to put its wheels up and kick back for some well-deserved rest.

We wish you all a joyous holiday season.  Look forward to seeing you in 2018.

Last Weekend of the Season! – November 4 & 5

August 29, 2017 by orchardartwork

Come on out and pick the last apples of the season.

The Pink Lady Apple – We are proud to share our first crop of of Pink Lady apples EVER!  Developed in Australia, they are crunchy with a great sweet/tart balance. Great for eating and one of the top baking apples according to Bonappetit.

Note – For those who didn’t see the posting elsewhere, our raspberry picking season has come to an end.

Pardon our dents – Mother Nature treated us to a lovely hail storm the end of June.  So, you’ll find a fair number of apples decorated with hail marks.  But, hail marks or not, they still taste great and we hope you give even the “decorated” apples a try.

New this Fall

  • Separate entrance/exit – We’ve built a separate entrance to make checking in and out more streamlined and speedy to get you on your way.
  • Entry fee assessed upfront – We are charging the $4/entry fee upfront this year.  That fee then goes toward the purchase of your u-pick fruit when you check out.
  • Lots more in store – We’ve got some new snacks planned including gourmet caramel apples; new challenges for the kids, including a spider web they can climb on; t-shirts (how do you like those apples?), and, oh yes, a brand new look in the Apple Barn.

We look forward to seeing your crew out at the orchard this fall!
