LAST WEEKEND FOR U-PICK APPLES!

It's the end of October already and what a Fall it has been. U-pick apple will be open (rain or shine) this weekend 10 am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday. There are plenty of Fuji, Staymen, Granny Smith and Rome to pick. There are still a few Reds, Goldens and Idareds left to pick.
The haywagon will be running unless the weather makes it unsafe to drive. (U-pick apple will close for the season at 5pm on Sunday.)

The corn maze is still standing and in pretty good shape. If we get a lot of rain, however, I would recommend a pair of boots. The maze can get pretty messy after a soaking rain.

Check the Farm Market too. It is open until 5:30. We are still picking sweet corn and tomatoes. With the chilly temperatures expected, try some hot apple cider or hot chocolate. A warm apple cider donut goes great with either drink.

Pumpkin pickers can enjoy picking from the patch or any where around the market. They are available to pick daily. There are also pie pumpkins for those ambitious enough to make pumpkin pie from scratch.

The u-pick chestnut program is over for the year. All that's left to do is rake!

If you have any questions about the weekend, apples, etc. give us a call at (845) 255-0693.
