Chapman's Orchard

We expect a frost on Tuesday 10/6 and Wednesday 10/7. In preparation for the frost we will collect the pumpkins and squash, then cover them or put them in the barn. Therefore, if you are interested in U-pick pumpkins / winter squash this week and weekend will be a good time to join us at the Farm.

We have Honeycrisp and Cortland Apples at our Stand. Golden Delicious and Macoun are available for u-pick. Normally we would have Jonagold ready for U-pick but the late April frost damaged their blossoms, resulting in no Jonagold apples this year. We will have Northern Spy, Idared and other later varieties ready in the first half of October. I will include an update with their availability dates as it approaches.

An update on Friday’s opening. The Zestar Apples will be ready, however there isn't a large crop, due to late frosts in April, apples dropping early and critters eating them. The Zestar's are popular and may be picked out quickly. You can call the office 607 334 3133 regarding availability and we will post an update when the Zestar's are completely picked.
On the brighter side, the McIntosh and Honeycrisp apples are ripening nicely and will be available soon.

08/20/2026

We will open for the season on Friday August 28. The apple variety which will be ready for picking is Zestar, a very popular early apple. Following the Zestar's will be Ginger Gold, McIntosh and Honeycrisp. Our Honeycrisp crop is the best we've had in several seasons.

Our page and Chapman's Orchard Web site will be updated as other varieties become available, throughout the season.

We hope to see you soon.

PS. This years Pumpkin Patch is our largest yet, with Orange, White, Blue, Pink Pumpkins of many sizes, from small to very large. Pumpkins will be available for u-pick and at our Farm Stand.

We now have semi dwarf apple trees for sale at Chapman’s Orchard. They are primarily immune to disease or disease resistant. The available varieties are on our Chapman’s Orchard webpage
along with a description of each. The two varieties that are not disease resistant are Jonathan and golden delicious. They are included because those two varieties are able to pollinate themselves and any other apple tree. They are therefore an excellent pollinator. If interested, please call us at 607-334-3133.
