Opening Day for Market for 2023 Season

Our farm market will open for the 2023 season on Saturday, July 8 at 9am. We can’t wait to see everyone again! There will be a BBQ food truck and we will be making peach and apple cider donuts! We do plan to have peaches from other orchards in the market since our own crop was heavily damaged during the bitter cold snap just before Christmas of 2022. We will have some peaches but not until early to mid-August. Apple crop looks amazing and we are expanding our cut your own flower area. We will grow our traditional sunflower field down the hill like we have since 2019 and new this year, we are adding a field of mini sunflowers! These will be perfect for kids and family photo sessions. We expect the sunflowers to be ready about August 10 or so. Stay tuned for more flower information to come.

Please note that we will be closed on Mondays this year. We hope to see you for our opening day on July 8!
