General Apple and Produce Related FAQ
What happens to the apples on the ground?
Where and when can I pick my own apples? Where do we get containers/pay?
U-Pick apple orchards are located at the Morse Rd. Farm which has up to 3 different orchard entrances, depending on the variety that is ripe and ready to pick on a particular weekend. 1 entrance is EAST of the market, 2 are WEST. Signs at the intersection of 310 and Morse will point you in the right direction. Ideally, check the Facebook page or sign up for the Cider Press Email (form found on this page above!) which will instruct you with the exact address of the orchards being picked that weekend. APPLES CANNOT BE PICKED AT THE MARKET ENTRANCE. U-PICK APPLES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS DURING THE APPLE SEASON (late August thru October). Each orchard has its own check-in (peck and half bushel bags and instructions) and check-out where trunks need to be open. Apples are charged per level bag full. Overfilled bags will be charged extra.
