We will be closed on Thursday, October 11. Our final weekend will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday (October 12, 13 and 14) 


We have had a great apple crop! We are still picking Jonathan and Haralson apples and  there are a some Arkansas Blacks, but they are small this year.  The apple picking is now a little challenging.

We have cleaned out the treetops, and have lots of nice Jonathan,Golden Delicious, and McIntosh apples in the store, same prices as pick your own, or a half bushel (21 pounds) for $30 while they last. 


The pumpkin patch is open and full of pumpkins of all sizes.

For Your Safety and Enjoyment

Please remember that you are visiting a working farm with some inherent  hazards and risks. Prepare you and your children for an outdoor experience.  You may not want to wear open-toed sandals or flip-flops since the ground is uneven and there may be insects and bees and even thorny plants. Sunscreen may be useful.  If you or your children have allergies (such as to bees and wasps) come prepared.  Be aware that there are many small irrigation ditches, irrigation pipe, hoses and irrigation tubing to avoid falls.  Pay close attention overhead while you are picking apples as it is easy to bump your head on a branch or poke yourself on a twig. Do not climb trees or allow your children to climb trees. Stay away from idle farm machinery at the back of the orchard.  Be cautious near the road and parking areas since some drivers might be thinking about....apples!  Be safe and have fun.
