We only allow trained service dogs recognized by the ADA on the farm, with the exception of our Howl-O-Ween-Weekend! The last weekend in October, we allow well behaved leashed dogs to come with their families, walk through the orchard, and go through the daytime corn maze. On these special days, dogs are not welcome inside buildings or around our farm animals in the Animal Barn. Check our calendar for more details!

Cider is the fresh pressed apple juice we make on our farm. It is brown in color because it is unfiltered and the apples brown from their natural oxidation process, but the flavor is like biting into a fresh apple!

Our Cider has no added sugar or preservatives, just apples! (In fact, we estimate about 36 apples per gallon!) We use a special blend of sweet and tart apples to give it just the right flavor, and there are no other spices or flavors added. It is best if used within 7-10 days, and can be frozen to keep even longer! Just remove about a cup to allow room for expansion, and freeze. We recommend using it within one year, and shaking well after thawing.

Our cider is UV processed by FDA certified equipment. This means that harmful pathogens in the cider are eliminated through ultraviolet light instead of by heat. We feel that this process retains the fresh flavor of our cider.

Yes, cider can be frozen. Just remove about a cup to allow for expansion room and freeze. Use within 1 year.

To preserve the quality of your apples once you take them home, you should refrigerate them in the plastic bag. Elimination of exposure to oxygen and heat will give your apples the longest shelf life. Varieties vary in shelf life and because our apples are picked at their peak of freshness, they should be used as soon as possible.

Please see our Apple Varieties page for more information. Any of our apples marked “baking” will do, and the more varieties you put in your pie, the more complex the flavor! Our secret is to blend sweet and tart apples.

We only allow trained service dogs recognized by the ADA on the farm, with the exception of our Howl-O-Ween-Weekend!

The maze has 3 miles of pathways. The average person will take between 45 – 60 minutes for the daytime maze, and 30-45 minutes for the Haunted Maze.

We design the Haunt each year to give you a good experience. While we hope that you have a number of good scares, our intent is not to overly frighten you. We recommend the Haunted Maze for children over the age of 13 and do not allow unaccompanied children under the age of 16 to enter the maze without a chaperone. Children under the age of 13 can still attend the maze with a chaperone.

Outdoor activities close for the season the last weekend of October. In November, the Store and Bakery is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but remains open Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00AM – 5:00PM through the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Apple picking will continue until quantities are unavailable or until we receive a hard freeze.

Our Cider House is open Saturday and Sunday from 10:00AM – 5:00PM in November, until the last day of the season. In the off season, we occasionally have special events on our farm and in the Cider House. Like us on Facebook to stay up to date!

We accept cash and credit cards in all locations.
