Drum roll please! We’re doing a soft opening this year, August 29 & 30 to give you the opportunity to pick-your-own on First Kiss apples. First Kiss apples ripen mid-to-late August and with Labor Day Weekend being so late this year, we’ve decided to try something new! A soft opening. We won’t have everything ready to go but we’ll have apples and some of your favorite bakery treats, like cookies and caramel apples. Soft Opening Hours: 10 am to 5 pm. Closed August 31 – September 4.
The regular season will begin Saturday September 5th. And then we’ll be open 7-days a week, 10 am to 6 pm.
As we move through the month, August is all about the check list as we get ready for the fall apple season.
