The Orchard U-Pick is a fun and educational experience for the entire family, so please be be mindful of our trees and apples and follow the guidelines:

~ Pick up and pay for your bag in the red barn BEFORE heading out to the orchard
~ Only one peck per family please
~ Follow the signs to U-Pick
~ Please wear appropriate clothing, bring sunscreen, jackets
~ We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes good for walking on uneven or muddy ground; protection from ground debris
~ We take care for the land around the trees, getting rid of poison ivy/sumac, but please just take care where you walk
~ ONLY pick what is designated by cones, signage, and streamers (if the apple stem doesn't twist off easily...one light twist, it isn't ripe)
~ Remember, bees are our friends and most efficient pollinators; we need them; let them buzz
~ Feel free to taste before you buy, but it's recommended that apples be washed before eating
~ Children must be accompanied by an adult and be within arm's reach at all times.
~ Please dispose of any trash in the receptables at the red barn
~ Pets are welcome on leashes, but please pick up after them
