Pro Tips

🍏 Pick your moment: Early September brings McIntosh and Gala, while late September is prime for Honeycrisp, Cortland, and Macoun.
🕑 Beat the crowds: Weekday afternoons or early mornings on weekends are usually the quietest times.
📱 Check before you go: Weather and crop conditions can change quickly, so give the farm’s website or social media a glance before heading out.
🎒 Come prepared: Bring a reusable bag, comfortable shoes for walking in fields, and a little extra cash for cider donuts or ice cream.|
📸 Don’t forget the photos: Orchards are the perfect backdrop for fall pictures — from candid family shots to Instagram-worthy foliage views.

As the days grow shorter and the leaves begin to fall, apple picking offers a chance to celebrate the best of the season ... a perfect blend of tradition, nature, and time well spent.  Enjoy!
