Good to know
How much does u-pick apple picking cost?
Pricing typically ranges from $1.50 to $3.50 per pound, or between $20 and $45 for a half-bushel bag provided by the orchard. Many farms also charge a separate admission or parking fee of $5 to $15 per vehicle or person.
What equipment is provided, and what should visitors bring?
Orchards supply picking bags, peck containers, or plastic buckets at the entrance, and some offer pole pickers for high branches. Visitors should wear closed-toe shoes suitable for uneven soil and bring wagons or strollers for hauling heavy bags.
Are dogs allowed in apple picking orchards?
Federal food safety regulations prohibit pets in active crop areas at the majority of commercial orchards. Service animals recognized by the ADA are allowed, though non-service pets must usually remain in designated parking or picnic areas.
