Blooms, Bunny & Cow Cuddles
Our fruit trees are starting to bloom, and what better way to learn about how our fruit grows than with a fun spring adventure! Explore the beauty of spring by exploring our peach blossoms, visiting with the Easter Bunny, and cuddling the adorable highland cows, Dooley & Rooster. Join us each weekend in March and April for a whole lot of excitement. Reservations required. Learn more and book your tickets here.
And while our blossoms are a magical sight, they also play a crucial role in fruit production, telling us about how well our orchards are doing. Lots of blossoms mean the trees are happy and healthy, which we hope translates into a plentiful harvest come July for peaches, June for berries and September for apples. We look forward to welcoming you out to the Orchard this spring!
