Huge thank you to everyone who came out for our inaugural U-Pick this year. It was a resounding success! It was so much fun to hear the laughter out in the field and see the smiles on everyone's faces. We are happy that everyone had so much fun and it was great to hear "we will be back next year" from so many people!

For everyone interested in U-pick this year, tree #1 is showing signs of opening up! That indicates the peak of harvest will likely be between Oct 4th and 12th. Be sure to reserve your spot on the website.....openings are limited. It will be a great harvest this year!
