Apple flavors change every day as the fruit hangs on the tree, soaking up sunlight and getting sweeter... but staying hard and snappy. Later-ripening varieties come on, you pick one, bite into it, decide whether to pick some for your bag! Yes, you can drop a bitten apple in the grass, there are plenty of critters, above and below ground, that will appreciate it. That's not waste!
In the barn, we'll have tasting samples out, you can try before you buy our ready-picked apples.
As ever, we'll have lots of local treats, chrysanthemums, jams, jellies, maple syrup, maple candy, pumpkins when they're ready, gourds... we don't like to rush the season, so we bring in the pumpkins maybe mid-September.
More and more ready-packed apple varieties will be added as they come in -- they all grow here, we go out pick them when they're at their best.
As ever, you can hang out in the orchards, bring a picnic, walk our trail loops, relax. There's a huge fence around the whole place, so kids can run far without getting lost. Apples, walks, views, space, air, room to roam, time to relax and enjoy - it's nice here.
Dogs on leashes are welcome: dog families MUST clean up after them.
In 2024, our apples are looking fab-u-lous!
So we will have pick-your-own and local wholesale fruit. We will have loads of bittersweet and bittersweet cider apples to press for Farnum Hill Ciders.
We can offer other cidermakers the magnificent cider-grown apples we grow...
Forget the Big Freeze-Out of last year! Let's bring in the 2024 harvest in all its glory!
