You-pick availability
2022 YOU-PICK SEASON IS NOW CLOSED
TIP: Make sure to come early to guarantee yourself the best pick! Also, make sure you subscribe for all the in-cider info!
HOW IT WORKS:
APPLES: There are three different ways to make sure you are picking in the right area!
*Please notes that this changes daily, so if you're headed to the orchard, check to see what's pickin' today!
1. Look for the signs! The signs will let you know which variety is available in that area!
2. Next to the picking variety, you will find row numbers that match the row numbers in our orchard!
3. Listed next to the row numbers, you will find ribbon colors that match the ribbons tied on trees in the proper picking areas in our orchard!
