We went with two toddlers and LOVED it! Mr Richard was so nice and there were tons of apple trees and raspberries to pick. Pricing is $1/lb and the fruits were delicious. Super recommend!!!

The owner is so friendly. Cute place for apple picking and supporting some wonderful people. Bring your own bag for the picking. $1 a pound. Plus some are on the table for free for making apple sauce or apple butter. It was a lot of fun.

Omg never let this place get internet famous. Never let this place die.

Amazing just amazing to see and experience such a place in today’s world. I hope that my kids can experience such a humble apple orchard one day instead of the commercialized ones with cruel petting zoos and set up to drain parents pockets. I love that the apples were natural, ugly, and obviously didn’t have lots of chemicals used to grow them. It has been a long time since I’ve seen someone use the honor system as payment. I paid more just because Richard deserves it! Thank you for your kindness and I wish I had gotten a Chance to talk and hear about your farm before leaving. Hopefully next year!

Oh also there are two horses that want you to toss apples to them near their fence. So cute

An old school apple farm. You will be met by Mr and Mrs Richards who have been in this farm since 1957. Lots of varieties and there are apples to pick RIGHT NOW. U Pick for a $1 a pound . Honor system and recommended to bring your own bags. They also have blackberries that are ready to pick and pumpkins and squash are in their way

Had a great time! The owners are very helpful and friendly. Easy walk around the orchard, and there are tons of apples. Very low key and no frills, just apples, and just what we wanted. It's helpful if you bring your own bag. We were there for about 45 minutes and had 20 lbs of apples. $1/lb. We will be back!

I liked the backyard farm feel. There is an amazing crop this year and trees are filled with apples - lot of varieties. The owner Richard is an awesome person - had a good conversation at the end of apple picking. Kids had a good time for couple hours.

No entry fee and any variety is 1$ an lb

Had a fun, relaxing time apple picking. Mr. Richards came out to greet us and explain about his orchards. It is honor system for weighing and paying (on the table next to the driveway as you exit). We’re very happy with what we picked and will be back again!

A very special day at this orchard! The sweetest couple have been growing apples here since the 50s! A great place to go for casual apple picking, everything is very natural. May have some bugs or spots, but that’s a great trade for less chemicals! We look forward to visiting regularly! 🙂
