Our Apples
Our orchard grows about 18,000 apple trees on roughly 35 acres of land. We invite you to pick many varieties, including the Star Gala that was discovered right here at Weaver’s Orchard. If a homegrown apple is listed as finished or not yet available for Pick-Your-Own, look for them in our farm market. We keep apples fresh and crisp in cold storage throughout the winter. Our apple cider-pressing season lasts from September to May, so if you’re craving that fresh apple taste after apple harvesting season, pick up a jug in our farm market!
