The orchard is 55 acres and offers 33 varieties of apples including hybrid, standard, and heirloom. If you love Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Granny Smith, and Macoun, this is the place to come.

Due to the higher elevation at this orchard, there are certain apples that can only be grown here. You'll find the apples to be more flavorful than the average apple from elsewhere.
