Our 2026 U-Pick season is over. Saturday, October 17 was our last day of picking, and the orchard is now closed until next season.
Thank you
Thank you to everyone who came up the mountain to pick with us this fall, from opening day on Sunday, September 6 to our very last Saturday. And a special thank-you to everyone who still made the drive after the remnants of Hurricane Rachel brought down so many of our apples, and came out for one more hunt through the branches.
What comes next
The trees get their rest now, but we are not going quiet. We are building some year-round events and new ways to enjoy the orchard, and we will announce each one as it rolls out.
The best way to hear first is The Cider Press, our email newsletter. Everything also goes up here on our website the same day, and you can follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
Next season's opening day depends on the apples, as it always does. We will announce it here and in The Cider Press as soon as we know.
