Pumpkins Galore and The Largest Apple Contest

Halloween is almost here and we have a lot of fun activities to enjoy!

Start with a Self-guided Orchard Tour! Our self-guided tour is set up and starts at the mailbox by the Apple stand. Grab a map and find eight stations in the orchard and read the informational graphic signs to learn about the steps we take throughout the year to keep our orchard healthy.

Next, search the orchard for the Largest Apple and enter the second week of the Largest Apple Contest! Winner is announced on Monday and receives TWO FREE BUCKETS of u-pick apples.

Third, rescue a pumpkin from our pumpkin patch to take home and carve! We have a huge selection of carving and decorative pumpkins to find! As well as gourds and squash.

Fourth, head out to the Tomato and Pepper picking rows and grab some tomatoes. They are plentiful now and will be ready to be picked until the first frost.

Finally, walk the u-pick flower rows. Pick an assortment of flowers to create your own bouquet. Or, pick up an already made bouquet at the stand. Our Sunflower maze is in its last days. You can still walk the maze but you might not find sunflowers worth picking any longer.

Parking is free and we do not charge admission. We are excited to have some fun with you all this weekend on the farm!

Also, we were excited to discover that Cripps Pink were ready to be picked this morning, so they have been added to the Ripe and Ready list! Cripps Pink are a great sweet-tart apple that are wonderful for snacking, baking, applesauce, and storing. We did a contest a few years back and made an apple crisp out of every variety in the orchard and blind tested them. The Cripps Pink was a unanimous winner! They are better known as Pink Lady.
