The Orchard
The orchard consists of approximately 30 acres of apple trees Different fruits and different varieties ripen at different times. These times can vary from year to year depending on the environment - rainfall, frost, drought, or insects. Below is a useful chart for finding approximate harvest times for the many varieties we have available. Like any Farmer's Market, some varieties have limited quantities and some are popular and go quickly! Call ahead to find out if we have a specific variety available. |
