Testimonials

This is seriously the nicest pick your own orchard I’ve been to. So many varieties – many I haven’t seen before. The crimson macs are off the chain – sweet, tart, crisp and an amazing color! And the owners were really nice and explained the different varieties – all of which were clearly labeled. Definitely going back next year.

Reasonable prices, all apples same price, very friendly service so happy we made the trip!

Made a side trip to Cobble Knoll on our way to Fairfax. Very impressive variety of apples (and pears)! Autumn Crisp and Jona Gold my fave so far, but I still have a peck full of different ones to try. The cider is incredible. Really lovely owners with an abundance of knowledge and pride of ownership! Beautiful vistas of the Adirondacks. Will go again.
