During the Harvest Season, enjoy picking your own Apples! Here are some picking tips:
  • Buy your 10# U-Pick bag in the Apple Lodge and hop on the wagon for a ride through the orchard. (Adult $20 per U-Pick bag) (13 and up $10) Under 13 no bag required.
  • The U-Pick bag includes a free corn maze pass, sunflower pass, barnyard access, playground use, and a tractor ride.
  • People of any age may pick. Help children choose fruit that will satisfy your family.
  • Use two hands when picking. Apples in pairs or clusters will fall to the ground if you try to pick just one.
  • To pick like the professionals, curl the apple a half turn and upward. This works much better than pulling or twisting. The apples “pop” right off.

Pick Your Own Tips

  • Open Friday - Sunday 11 am to 7 pm in October/ November. Upon arrival purchase your $5 Orchard Pass before you proceed into the Orchard. Use your hand sanitizer. People of any age may pick. Help children choose fruit that will satisfy your family. ABSOLUTELY NO EATING THE APPLES IN THE ORCHARD. TAKE THEM HOME AND WASH THEM FIRST. ONLY TOUCH WHAT YOU INTEND TO PURCHASE.
  • Use two hands when picking. Apples in pairs or clusters will fall to the ground if you try to pick just one. If you happen to drop an apple, please pick it up. It won’t have fallen far.
  • To pick like the professionals, curl the apple a half turn and upward. This works much better than pulling or twisting. The apples “pop” right off.
