It’s nut season! We groomed the orchard to make gathering nuts easy. Now they’re ripe and dropping to the ground! At our 9 acre hazelnut orchard, the best nuts are toward the center of the orchard. So drive along the top part of orchard to the center of the rows and walk down from there. There are signs to the closest area to park.
Buckets with liners plus a high volume nutcracker for your use are located at the cashier’s area.

We open at 7:00 am tomorrow Friday August 29th and close at 5:45 pm. Opening Day! The plums have great flavor and are ripe, but they are not at their maximum sweetness yet. If you like your pllums super sweet, you may want to wait. We will be open all weekend, Labor Day and next week.

Friday August 29th is our opening day for the 2025 U-pick.
We have tons of pears on the trees, and they will be $.75 a pound. Our price is a fraction of the price at the grocery store, best case. These pics were taken 8/6/25.

That's our pretty hazelnut orchard, and it's now covered with ripe hazelnuts. $3.00 a pound upick. And you can use our powerful electric nut cracker to crack many pounds of nuts in a jiffy! Considering the price of hazelnuts, it'd be a lovely but economical gift!
We'll be open all this week, 10 am to 6 pm.
