U-Pick Apples
U-Pick Apples @ Soons 2026
Momma Nature kicked our butt this past April, so apple picking will be more like apple hunting.... and the days we can offer will be very limited.
U-Pick Apples 2026... aka "Apple Hunting"...
U-Pick Apples ... all done for 2026!
thanks for everyone's patience and here's to a proper crop in 2027! Come see us in the store, we're doing our best to keep the shelves stocked ;)

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

SEE ABOVE about 2026 freeze -- we will update this on the regular as we move forward. Thank you for your patience.
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.
