Please note: We've listed as much information here as we can find on hours and activities. But it's always a good idea to check with the farm before heading out, as many pick-your-own apple farms have sometimes unpredictable crop yields and changes to their schedule. Please check with each orchard or patch for it's COVID-19 restrictions and rules. It's also a good idea to take cash, as some farms don't accept credit cards.
