Crops and picking times
“Because apples are limited, our U-Pick season was very short so we can save enough for our Country Store, bakery, cider, and other fall favorites.”

“If you are not coming as a Country Fair or a Field Trip guest, we will have apples & pumpkins available in our store for the same prices as u-pick.”
