RESERVATION SCHEDULER

When pick-your-own reservations become available, they will be found here. The pick-your-own season will resume in June 2023 (date TBD). We will post reservations roughly 2-3 days in advance.

Making at least one pick-your-own reservation per 1-5 guests or general orchard admission per person is required to participate in pick-your-own. If you’d like to pick more than one item we offer “add-ons” in smaller quantities. Add-ons are purchased when you arrive at the farm as availability allows.

If you see the message “No times are available at the moment. Please check back again soon”, it means reservations are sold out. We do not have a waitlist, but as soon as someone cancels, their spot is automatically opened back up to the public. Cancellations do occur, so we recommend you check back occasionally for open spots.

Want to pick more than one thing? We have have add-ons.

FAQ’s & What To Expect

SEASONAL SNAPSHOT

The following is a brief snapshot of some of the fruit we grow and the predicted ripening times based on previous seasons. No two seasons are the same, so please use this as a rough guide and not as a confirmed plan.

Organic Strawberries: In season 3-4 weeks beginning in early June and lasting through the third week in June. Strawberries are typically open on weekdays and weekends as availability allows.

Organic Raspberries: In season starting late June (around June 18th). Red raspberries ripen first, followed by black and golden. Raspberries ripen in waves. We usually have a big flush in late June, they taper off towards late July. We get a second flush in August. Raspberries are typically available on weekdays and weekends as crop availability allows.

Tomatoes cannot be harvested in the rain or damp conditions due to easily spreadable plant disease and high risk for fruit rot.

SEASONAL OVERVIEW

Apple Ripening Chart

The Pick-Your-Own season kicks off in early June with strawberries and ever-so-sweet sugar snap peas. July brings sweet and sour cherries as well as our certified organic raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. Late July and August mark the harvest of juicy, tree-ripened peaches and nectarines as well as an extensive variety of heirloom tomatoes and eggplants.

The season culminates in the fall with more than a dozen classic NY apples, heirloom varieties, and pumpkin-picking. The spectacular views, lovely fall weather, and the satisfaction of picking your own organic, sustainably grown fruits and vegetables combine for great family-friendly fun. Check this Apple Ripening Chart to help plan your visit! Still don’t see the apple you’re looking for? We grow over 100 varieties, so give us a call or shoot us an email to see if we have it.

Mid-September through mid-October, we have our annual Harvest Festival Weekends, with plenty of homemade food, live music, hayrides, donuts and cider!

We’re a real, working farm and not a theme park; so we have farm animals (3 sheep) but no petting zoo. Our passion is growing real food and sharing the joys of farming with our community.
