When Are Passes Released?
Orchard Access Passes are released about one week in advance, based on the number of ripe apples and flowers available. Weather, crop conditions, and customer demand determine how many passes are available each week.
How long is the pick-your-own-season?
Our pick-your-own apple season typically runs through October and often into mid-November, depending on weather, crop size, and customer demand. We anticipate the season lasting into November this year, but exact timing can vary. Flower picking continues until the first hard frost.
DOGS OR OTHER PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED in the Orchard or Farm Market. Service dogs are permitted.
