Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on weekends, especially during peak fall season, to avoid the largest crowds and secure the best selection of pumpkins and apples.
- Check the orchard's social media posts before heading out, especially for the corn maze, as schedules can change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
- Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes suitable for walking through fields and potentially muddy areas, especially if you plan to pick your own produce.
- While general orchard admission covers many activities, the Jump Pad and Cow Train have an additional $2 fee per person and are only available on weekends.
- Admission is not required to shop in the retail building or visit the Cafe' ala Apple, making it a great option for a quick treat or gift purchase.
