How Apple Picking Works:

1. Purchase an apple bag via our website, in the tasting room, or at the outdoor apple bar.
   • ½ bushel bag is $35 and holds approximately 20-25lbs of apples.
   • Included in the bag price is a complimentary tractor ride for up to 4 people per bag.
   • Additional tractor rides may be purchased separately for $3 per person per ride.
   • Note: Tractor rides are only available on Saturday & Sunday.
2. Walk or take a tractor ride to the orchard.
   • Only apple pickers are permitted in the orchard.
3. To pick an apple, simply twist the apple and gently pull. If it is ripe, it will fall into your hand.
4. Taste & Enjoy

Orchard Hours:
 Monday – Sunday: 11am to 5pm
