Apple U-Pick
Our U-Pick events are popular with everybody in the family! It’s an opportunity to pick your own fruit in our family-owned and operated orchard here in Blue Ridge, Georgia.
During apple season, we offer U-Pick on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday, between 10 AM and 4 PM. We generally do not offer orchard activities during the week, as we are a working farm.
Please remember that the weather here in North Georgia can be unpredictable, and safety is our top priority, so if there’s a lightning storm a-brewing we probably won’t offer U-Pick or Tractor Tours.

- Friday, Sep 22nd: 10 AM – 4 PM: Special Crimson Crisp Only U-Pick!
- Saturday, Sep 23rd & Sunday, Sep 24th: 10 AM – 4 PM
- Saturday, Sep 30th & Sunday, Oct 1st: 10 AM – 4 PM
If we run out of ripe fruit in the fields, we will plan to switch gears and offer tractor tours.
