Plan Your Visit
Fall 2023
We will be open Saturdays and Sundays this fall from 10:00-6:00.
Be aware that we have very little indoor seating in case of rain, so plan accordingly!
What to Expect
Visit us for a quiet day full of simple pleasures in the country: a stroll in the orchard, delicious flavors of hard ciders to sample, chickens, and the beauty of nature.
When you plan your visit, consider doing any of the following:
Reserve a tasting kit! Tasting kits accommodate up to four people. Choose a basic hard cider tasting kit and add some extras to it like a dessert cider tasting, pastry, or cheese.
Plan a picnic! We have pastry, cheese, bread, and cider donuts that you can use to prepare your own orchard meal, but also feel free to bring your own food (please just don’t bring beer or wine, which isn’t supported by our liquor license). We have picnic tables by the barn and in the orchard too, or bring a blanket and a lawn chair. You can buy hard cider to round out your meal.
Stroll the orchard! Although we don’t do pick-your-own here, we welcome you to take a walk in the orchard and see what there is to see. We grow over 100 varieties of apples plus pears and tart cherries. Between the orchard flora and the chickens, there’s plenty to take in.
Learn something new! There’s a lot to learn here from the tasting notes included in the kit to special events that we hold throughout the season or even just from talking to us. We love to talk apples and cider!
Shop and dash! Maybe you just need to pick up some apples. And some cider. And a few donuts since you’re here. And add a pack of Odenthal’s beef jerky. That’s just fine that you need to make a quick stop! We’ll miss being able to talk to you, but we understand.
A Bit More Information About Our Tasting Kits
RESERVATIONS FOR TASTING KITS ARE REQUIRED 12 HOURS IN ADVANCE. Tasting kit fees will be refunded in full for cancellations 12 hours in advance.
If you come to the orchard without a tasting kit reservation, that’s okay! We won’t be able to get you a tasting kit because they take a good deal of advance assembly, but you’re still welcome to stroll the orchard, purchase cider and snacks — even a flight of cider — and plant yourself at a picnic table to try and keep your food away from the chickens.
Answers to Your Questions
Dogs are welcome at the orchard as long as they’re on a leash.
We always have food available for purchase, but you’re also welcome to bring food in with you. We would appreciate it, though, if you didn’t bring in beer or wine.
All of the apples at the orchard are pre-picked.
