While you are in Penrose, you might want to visit
Degenhart Orchard at 955 3rd Street, next door to Third Street Apples. They sell Jonathan, Jonagold, Red and Yellow Delicious apples, plums, and pears and asian pears in boxes and bags from their tent on the roadside.  Same great Penrose fruit as grown in our orchard.

 
 Also, Happy Apple Farm nearby at 1st and K Street has a deli on weekends, cider and a pumpkin patch. www.happyapplefarm.com

For lunch try the This and That BBQ on Broadway, or the Gooseberry Patch, Two Sisters Restaurant , and Coyote's Coffee Den all on Hwy 115.

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.
