“Awesome little orchard with seasonal fruit! Great apples, fresh apple juice, and peaches during season. They have pumpkins for sale in the fall. It's not an actual patch, but a neat setup great for photos. They also sell local honey. Really friendly people. As a bonus, they wash the fruit on-site after you pick it!”
“Sweet place ..we went and they had already picked off all the trees for the year..and let my granddaughter go thru anyway with a bag and get whatever was left and did so for no fee...also got some great pumpkins and amazing apple cider here all and all the folks are great we will schedule an early visit next year”
