Orchard Update

We have eleven varieties ready this week! Two new apples are some of our most flavorful varieties. Cox’s Orange Pippin is an heirloom variety that tastes like an orange! Orchard favorite Sweet 16 are ready and have an enhanced cherry flavor this year, very crisp. Cortlands are plentiful and we have opened up the Ruby Mac and McIntosh apples. We are still picking Zestar, Sansa, Ginger Gold, Blondee, Autumn Crisp and Gala. Three flavors of cider donuts on the stand this weekend and homemade apple pies. Looks like great apple picking weather!

Testimonials

This place is great. I couldn’t count all the different types of apples you could pick. The views while picking is beautiful. Now if you like apple cider, this is the holy grail of apple cider. I’ve had apple cider from all over but this place is the best. I have actually thought of driving the 275 mile one way trip to pick up more to bring home. It’s that good. I will be back.

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.

Kathleen Taylor

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.
