Apples
We are open for the apple season mid- September through Thanksgiving! Stop by 10am-5pm daily for fresh-pressed cider, apples by the bushel, seasonal produce, and even homemade baked goods.
We don’t have apple picking here - all of our apples are shipped in from a local orchard in Gasport, NY.
What you can expect to find at the farm in the fall:
hot mulled cider
fresh-pressed cider by the gallon
apple cider slushies
concord grapes
apples by the bushel
local honey
maple syrup
pumpkins
freshly baked apple pies
and more!
“We have been coming here for years. It is the best cider around! We drive 1.5 hours to get it. Love that you can sample the apples before you buy.”
Please note that our farmstand is cash or check only. No cards!
