Pick-Your-Own Fruit Updates & Prices
At our farm, you can expect a high-quality experience picking fruit. We take pride in how we maintain our orchard. Any grassy areas are kept mowed and weeds are removed.
Our strawberries are planted on raised, plastic-lined beds with plenty of straw in between the rows to keep you and your kids from getting muddy. (Although, we can't guarantee you'll be totally mud-free after all the rain we've received recently!)
All of our tree fruits, which includes 100% of our apple and peach trees and at least 80% of our cherry trees are smaller "dwarf" trees, with branches that are just in arms-reach for easy picking.
Once you're done picking, there's still plenty to do, see & taste at our farm market! Take a walk around the grounds to visit with and feed our farm animals, or enjoy a picnic lunch on the lawn or deck. Enjoy a made-to-order deli sandwich or treat yourself to some hand-dipped locally made ice cream on our orchard view deck.
We are an integrated pest management farm, which means we use many natural approaches to managing insects and disease. Click the link above for a detailed article about our farming practices.
