Frequently Asked Questions

 

Can we pick our own apples?
No, all of our apples are pre-picked. You can, however, go for a walk through the orchard, play on our equipment, visit with our goats and snuggle the cats, pick your own pumpkin (October),and see how many door knobs you can spot on your walk.

​

Are you an organic orchard?
We practice IPM — Integrated Pest Management. By watching degree days and scouting for bugs and scab we are able to spray our orchard at a minimum. However, we are not organic.

​

Can we bring our pets to your orchard?

No. We have a lot of pets and animals for you to visit but your pets are not allowed to visit. Thank you!

​

Do you still go to farmer's markets?
Unfortunately, no. With the increase of business on our farm and the demands that happen as your children get older (school work, softball, basketball, cross country, track) we just don't have the time or resources to get to the Farmer's Markets. We are happy to have you visit us here on our farm though!

Do you have Honeycrisp?
Yes — we have many Honeycrisp apple trees planted at our orchard. They typically ripen, ready to pick around September 12th. To be the first to hear when the Honeycrisp are for sale be sure to sign up for our Newsletter.

​

What kind of apples do you grow and sell?

We grow almost 60 varieties at our apple orchard! A comprehensive list of the varieties and their approximate ripening date can be found by clicking HERE. Please note that the dates are approximate - we monitor the quality of the apples and will pick them once they are truly ripe and ready.
