!!The 2025 Apple Picking Season is Closed !!

The 2026 season will open in September!



How things work at our farm


Apple picking is a separate activity on the farm.

In order to enter the orchard a customer or group of customers must first purchase a picking bag.  There is a minimum purchase required for all customer groups based on the size of the group.  All visitors over 10 yrs of age and older will be considered as a paying customer.


We offer our valued customers four options when it comes to prepaid apple picking bags.  These bags are priced to accommodate the average group size and demands.  However, as long as you meet the minimum payment required for your group any combination of bags can be purchased.


This is not a limit to how many apples you can pick, but is the lowest amount you can pick and still enter the orchard.  If you or your group would like to purchase more apples than the minimum than by all means just buy a larger bag.


If you over pick the original bag you purchased you will be required to pay for the extra picked apples by purchasing another bag that holds the apples you pick!


Here is an image with the basic information. 


 



So what does this mean?

Here is a chart that explains it best!
