U-Pick Rules & Information

U-PICK RULES

Always call ahead, check the homepage of the website, or visit our Facebook page to verify picking conditions (weather, picking hours and fruit availability vary)

  1. You must pay for all the fruit that you pick. Please Pick Wisely.

  2. We are a working orchard, and while beautiful, it can be dangerous to a wondering child. Please make sure children are supervised at all times.

  3. Please DO NOT climb trees or bushes (the limbs will break and it’ll take years for that limp to grow back and produce fruit).

  4. Pick only in designated picking areas. Other areas may not be ready for picking yet.

  5. Please do not waste the fruit by throwing it on the ground.

  6. Keep our orchards clean and beautiful for all to enjoy.

  7. We recommend packing water, hats and sunscreen for your u-pick adventure.


    SPECIFIC U-PICK INFORMATION

    **Please note that the u-pick procedures are subject to change without notice based on ground and field conditions. When an orchard access pass is required, it allows access to all u-pick fields that are currently open.

Berry Season (June & early July)

  • Weekdays (crop dependent): There is no orchard access pass required to pick berries during the weekdays. Please check-in inside the Apple Barn for baskets and field instructions. We do not have a hayride shuttle available on weekdays so the only way to access the fields is via walking (approx. 1/4 mile). We recommend bringing water, sunscreen and a hat.

  • Weekends: There is a $3/person orchard access pass required to pick berries on weekends. On Saturdays, please check-in at the u-pick shed on the front lawn of the Apple Barn and on Sundays, please check-in inside the Apple Barn for baskets and field instructions. We will have a hayride shuttle available on to transport guests to and from the fields. We recommend bringing water, sunscreen and a hat.

Peach Season (July & August)

  • Weekdays: There is a $3 admission on weekdays to access the orchards, and we will transport guests via shuttle to and from the fields. The peaches are too heavy, the distance is too far and it’s too hot to allow guests to walk to the fields. Guests will also receive a mini slushie to cool you off once returning from the fields. Please purchase your peach picking tickets (tickets will be available for purchase in late June/early July) in advance to guarantee availability. Walking to or from the fields is not allowed.
