U-Pick
Getting started
Upon arriving at Apple Barrel Orchards and parking, please proceed to the check in area to receive instructions for picking and directions to our u-pick orchards.
We have a limited number of wagons available for you to use to help transport your apples back to our weighing station upon completion of picking. Our apple picking orchards are accessible by walking. We have picking bags and baskets available for purchase, but we also encourage you to bring your own containers.
If you would prefer to purchase already picked apples, or the variety you are looking for is not available for u-pick, please call ahead to check our farm store for availability.
Click on the U-Pick schedule button below for a list of when each variety is available.
Weighing your fruit and checking out
Once you have finished apple picking, proceed to the scale area and see a staff member.
Once you have received your total fruit weight, you will proceed from the orchard to the farm store to check out where you can browse our other products available for purchase including jams, honey, cheese, cider and more. Click on the link below to learn more about our farm store.
PET POLICY and U-Pick etiquette
NO PETS ALLOWED
Due to our GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certification, pets and all furry friends are not allowed in our orchards and vineyards. If you do bring your pet, we ask that they remain in your vehicle.
Thank you for supporting us in our efforts to follow best practices and growing standards that allow us to work with local organizations and maintain the integrity of our family business
Please do not climb trees and stay within designated picking areas
In an attempt to keep our orchard trees healthy and productive, we do not allow climbing of any trees. Climbing in an apple tree can lead to stress and damage of the limbs.
Our farm is a combination of u-pick and wholesale. This means, not every tree and variety is available for apple picking. We ask that you stay in the designated area we have directed you to when you visit.
We strive to keep our farm orchard clean and free of litter. We can all do our part by throwing any trash we have in one of our trash bins located around the farm while apple picking.
