U-pick

image of cornGreat news! This year's crop is growing and it is a bumper crop. We will have Gravensteins in mid-August. Then Glen Seedlings (green, tart apples). Later, Early Fuji's and Red Delicious about the second week in September. Shortly afterward the Spartans, Jonathons and McIntosh toward the end of September. The last apples to ripen are the Romes, Winesaps, Braeburns, Fuji's Northern Spy and Yellow Newtown pippins.

basket of corn to accent corn pickingIn mid-July our Red Heritage raspberries start to ripen, then the wild blackberries. Although our season officially opens to the public on Labor Day weekend, you can call from mid-July on to check on ripeness and make an appointment to come up and pick. Cider pressing, wagon rides and all other tour activities begin on Labor Day weekend.

In late October you can come up and pick your own corn (Indian Corn) and pumpkins.
