Pick Your Own Apple Weekends at Soons Orchards
If you’re going to pick apples, why not pick the best?

As always, you can visit our market store - open daily year round - for apples already picked and ready to take home.

Projected ready dates of varieties are listed below - to be updated as we get closer - which is always subject to change depending on weather and demand. As we go later into the season, be prepared to walk into the orchard further to find trees with fruit. The rows are 700 feet long, and eventually, only the farthest trees have apples on a given row. We are not able to "re-stock" the apple trees... yes, we’ve been asked this!
The following list of apple varieties and picking times are an estimate (we do try to keep this page updated week to week as Mother Nature plays a big role here lol) - please reference our Facebook page for an up-to-date list of the coming weekend's selection.
