  • Pick Your Own are Tuesday-Sunday 9-5, Closed Monday; September first through October depending on fruit availability.

  • Please do not climb the trees, for both your safety and the tree! 
  • Please limit it to two apple picking pole per family.
  • Please feel free to try an apple before you place it in your bag to make sure its what you like, as many apple look very similar.
  • Please Do not climb on or shake our trees. Did you know it takes up to three years to regrow a broken apple spur? Please avoid breaking limbs or pulling unnecessary foliage or leaves from the tree when picking.
  • Using one hand to hold the branch, use your forefinger and thumb to gently turn fruit upward till it releases. (If the fruit is not easily released, it means that it is not ripe, and the sweetness is not yet in that fruit.)
  • Please don’t litter, trash cans are provided.
  • Smoking is prohibited.
  • Many labor intensive hours go into the loving care of our fruit bearing trees. We ask that if you accidentally drop any fruit on the ground to please make every effort to pick that piece of fruit up and place in your picking bag so that no fruit is wasted. If two or three fruits are clustered together, use two hands and gently pick all the fruit in the cluster.
  • Fruit varieties mature at different times. To ensure you pick the ripest fruit, pick only in designated areas or where there are posted signs. 
  • We reserve the right to refuse access to anyone at any time.
  • Dress appropriately and bring sun screen. 
  • We recommend wearing close-toed shoes good for walking on uneven ground, as bees, hornets and yellow jackets may be present on fallen fruit.
  • Watch for honeybees and bumblebees, as they are needed for pollination and will be in the fields. If you have allergies be sure to bring appropriate medicines (EpiPen, antihistamine).
  • Bathrooms and hand washing facilities are provided.

We look forward to having you come visit and pick apples in the orchard!
