U-pick & parking update

Last chance for U-pick this season!

We are in end-of-season picking conditions, so come soon. Please check in at the Orchard Store before you start picking. The tractor will not run until the ground dries. U-pick closes at 4:30 PM; the Orchard Store is open 10 AM–5 PM.

Parking is still extremely limited. Please SLOW DOWN when you pull in, follow staff directions, and be kind to our parking attendants—they are working hard to get everyone in and out safely. Thank you for your patience!
