Apple Picking is now available, and our Corn Maze is officially open for the season! It’s a great time to visit the farm as we begin transitioning into one of our favorite times of the year.

Pick Your Own Experience

Each guest must purchase a Pick Your Own Entry Ticket, which includes admission to the farm and one farm-issued picking container based on the crops you choose to harvest.

Apple Picking

Apple picking is now available! Head into our orchards and enjoy harvesting fresh apples directly from the trees.

Apple varieties available for picking will change throughout the season as different varieties ripen. Please check our current What Can I Pick Today? information before your visit for the most up-to-date availability.
