Open Daily 9-6 NO DOGS ALLOWED. Thanks! APPLES IN THE STORE: Gala, McIntosh, Macoun, Jonagold, Cortland, Red Delicious, Idared, and Empire. PYO APPLES (weekends): Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Cortland, Gala, Macoun, Jonagold, and Empire. PYO APPLES (weekdays): McIntosh, Gala, Cortland, Empire. PYO APPLES will go until the crop runs out. Every year we try to improve our methods so that you all will have an awesome experience. Here's a little info on what to expect when you're expecting to PYO Apples: WEEKDAYS: you will come into the store to buy an empty peck size bag (that's farm-speak for 10 lbs). These go for a tidy $12.50. If you think that's too many apples for you, then plan to make a pie or sauce, or give them away to neighbors. Or put one into your kids' lunch box for the next several weeks. Don't worry; they'll keep (in the fridge please). With OUR peck bag in hand, you will walk out to the designated ripe picking area and fill your bag. The apples available will depend on ripeness and time of season. This will vary, so you'll need to be flexible. WEEKENDS: you come to the main store area of the farm and head towards the playground where you will be taken out to the picking site on a tractor-drawn HAYRIDE! There is NO WALKING IN OR OUT. Once you are out at the site you will pay CASH for your empty peck size bag (that's farm-speak for 10 lbs). These go for a tidy $15. If you think that's too many apples for you, see WEEKDAY details for suggestions on what to do wth them. We have several wagons taking people out to the far side of the orchards so things run fairly quickly. Usually folks are pretty thrilled that they get a hayride in with their apple picking adventure. Still, some people have asked why they must take a hayride. Put simply, it's too crowded and crazy to have so many people wandering all over the orchard (it's more than 100 acres) picking apples and whatnot. If you're familiar with the farm, then you probably understand this time of year is both exciting and overwhelming for us. We love that so many folks come to visit us, but we need to run a tight ship so things go well and everyone stays safe. ROCK ON APPLE PICKERS!!! |
