Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings, but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to all requests. They don't. Don't support the scammers!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know! I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

Comments from a visitor on November 05, 2011: "I visited this farm on November 5, 2011 and it was wonderful. It was a beautiful property with a very nice owner who came to greet us as soon as we arrived. There were far more apples still available on the trees then I expected for this time of year. The prices were very reasonable and we will definitely be returning in future seasons. "

They have a great variety of apples and the well-maintained trees are loaded with delicious fruit. The ripe varieties are clearly marked with signs and the owners are eager to answer questions. My 3 year old is always asking to go back, so we take him as often as we can to stretch our legs and enjoy the fresh, country air."
