***UPDATE***

Unfortunately we have decided to close the orchard to the public going forward. We have absolutely enjoyed each and every one of our amazing customers, visitors and friends the past five years. We hope we have been able to add some joy to all of your lives.

We have decided to shift our focus and enjoy more time with our family the next few months. With time at a premium and so little of it available to us in the end, we do hope you understand.

To all of you…we thank you very much for all of the support day in and day out. We hope you have enjoyed watching the orchard come back alive after 30 yrs, watching it grow, our own kids grow, our employees grow and our wild ideas come alive. For the customers that we fell short on…we do apologize. We have definitely enjoyed our time with each and every one of you and have made many great friends and even better memories. Thanks for making so many great ones with us!!! As a family we have absolutely enjoyed giving back to the community and will find ways to continue to in the future. If you are ever in the area and see myself, Joe or any of our other great employees working outside feel free to say hi.

From our family, our furry friends, our valued employees…to you…THANK YOU all from the bottom of our hearts.
