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. On weekends when we have a u-pick fee, that fee includes access to all u-pick fruits in season.

Berry Season (June & early July)

  • Weekdays (crop dependent): All guests must walk to the u-pick fields as we cannot offer hayrides (roughly a quarter mile walk). There is no u-pick fee during the week to access the fields. Please check-in inside the Apple Barn for buckets and u-pick items.

  • Weekends: There is a $3 per person (kids 2 & under: Free) weekend u-pick fee and all guests must walk to the orchards. Please check-in on our front lawn at the u-pick shed for buckets and u-pick items on Saturdays and inside the Apple Barn on Sundays.

Peach Season (July & August)

  • Due to the March freeze, we are facing 100% crop loss in our peaches and are not able to offer u-pick peaches this season. We hope to have a fruitful crop in 2024 for you to enjoy. We do have pre-picked peaches in daily from our friends at Chappell Farms near Candor, NC.

Apple Season (September)

  • The only way to pick apples is through our Apple Pickin’ Adventure and reservations must be made online in advance. Admission is required for apple picking.

Pumpkins & Gourd Season (October)
