Pro Tips

  1. 1.Arrive early on Saturday mornings (right at 9 AM) to beat the crowds and get the best selection of apples and pumpkins during peak fall season.
  2. 2.Bring a wagon or sturdy stroller to help transport your apple haul and tired little ones. The orchard terrain can be uneven.
  3. 3.Pack your own snacks and water bottles, as this is a working farm with limited food service beyond the farm stand goodies.
  4. 4.Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get dirty. Apple picking means reaching into trees and walking through grassy areas.
  5. 5.Check their social media before visiting to see what's ripe and ready to pick that week, as availability changes throughout the season.

Best Time to Visit

Visit on weekday mornings (Monday through Thursday) in September or October for the quintessential fall experience without weekend crowds. Early morning visits also mean cooler temperatures for outdoor activities and the freshest selection of produce.

What to Know

Admission is budget-friendly ($ pricing), and you typically pay for what you pick by the pound. The farm is closed Sundays, so plan accordingly, and parking is available on-site in their country lot.

Seasonal Notes

Peak season runs from late summer through fall (August to October) when apple picking and pumpkin patches are in full swing. Spring and summer offer other produce picking opportunities. Hours may vary by season, so call ahead during winter months or check their website for current offerings.

Nearby Eats

Head to downtown Greenfield (about 5 miles away) for family favorites like Main Street Pizza Company for casual Italian fare or Culver's for burgers and frozen custard that kids love.
