Alyson's Orchard is usually open each year, in season for their crops. It's ALWAYS advised to call or email the farm before you head out to the farm to determine the crop availability, as many factors, such as weather, soil conditions and even market and economic conditions affect what they have and when. And that can change not only from year to year, but day to day!
Below is the general info, keep in mind this is very general, this is NOT a list of what Alyson's Orchard has this year or ANY year or will have on any day.
