Picking your own is a great way to enjoy the day surrounded by beautiful fields of berries and orchards. In the Summer months, there are Blueberries, Blackberries, and Flowers and in the Fall, there are Apples of many different varieties. In the cutting garden you can wade through the waist high flowers and make up a special bouquet from the abundant selection. During weekends in September and October there are wagon rides through the orchards for apple picking. All pick-your-own fruit is priced by the pound for whatever you pick. Pick your own is open rain or shine. Hope to see you soon!
Apple Picking 2026
Apple picking will look a little different this year!
As many of you know, our orchard, like many in this area, was hit hard by a freeze in late April which took out most of our crops, including a major portion of our apples.
We know how much our community looks forward to apple picking each fall, and we’re doing our best to make sure this tradition can still be enjoyed this year.
There are a limited number of apples on our trees, and as they ripen, they will be available for picking.
We will also be sourcing apples from New York orchards to stock our Market and have in the field for “apple picking”. While we won’t have as many varieties as we typically would, we are fortunate to be able to work directly with to farms to obtain apples whose crunch and sweetness are just like our own!
The wagon will be running on weekends and we will of course have Cider Donuts, Cider Ice, and Cider along with our other products! Please note apple picking reservations will still be required on Saturdays and Sundays in September and October.
Additionally, we have a few new activities to look forward to! These include craft Sundays with Twyl Trolley and story time with the NHS Library, an Apple Scavenger Hunt, and a new Pumpkin Patch!
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as we navigate this very different season!
