Our apple orchard covers approximately 15 acres and grows 25 different varieties. We begin harvest in early July and finish early in November. An integrated pest management program has been in place for the last several decades allowing us to take advantage of the latest methods to control pests while protecting our environment. We are continually renewing our trees with exciting new selections but still keep some of the old favorites. Everything from snacking to baking, there's a special variety for every occasion. We hope you enjoy the diverse selection of apples our orchard provides as much as we enjoy growing them.
