    Please visit us this Fall and enjoy all that our farm has to offer!

    Fall Activities will begin again September 5th and will remain open on weekends throughout the Fall season, Yom Kippur and Columbus Day. Please note that we did experience a freeze that damaged our apple crop this 2026 season. While we are still searching and finding apples out in the orchard, we also have apples that are out in bins, crates and boxes if you'd like to fill your bags a bit more easily. Pumpkin picking, corn maze, farm animals, play areas, picnic areas, food stations are all running as ususal. The orchard is still open to search for apples but please keep in mind that the freeze was extremely harsh to us this season. Bring you family, bring your pup, bring your picnic, pick a pumpkin, grab a bag and choose apples from the crates or find some of the ones that made it through the freeze on the trees and enjoy the farm.

  • U-Pick Apples

    Open Weekends and Holidays this

    season. We will be open Saturdays, Sundays and Columbus Day

    We will be enjoying the Fall activities here on the farm! Keep in mind that due to the freeze only a limited amount of apples are left on the trees. We will have varieties available in bins, crates and boxes also placed throughout the orchard to fill your bag a bit more easily. The orchard is open to search for the apples that did make it. Pumpkin patch looks great! This season will look a bit differently this year. We will have pumpkin picking, our corn maze, shooting gallery, hayrides, picnics, farm animals, play areas, donuts, your favorite Fall treats and you can still bring home New York State apples from crates if you have a difficult time finding them on the trees. The freeze was devastating so please keep that in mind when visiting.

    The entire farm and activities are open and we would love for you to visit! We are navigating a very challenging season but we are still enjoying the farm and remaining open for you. Bring your family, bring your pup, pick a pumpkin, stroll through the corn maze, visit the farm animlas and bring home different varieties of New York State apples that are set out in crates.

    *The orchard is open to search for the apples that did survive the freeze, the fruit from the trees are likely to have external freeze damage this season.
