Wow, here we are! Night temperatures in the teens! Our last day open will be November 1. Meanwhile, It's time for Orchard Cleanup: half-price for tree-picks and drops.
There's still some good tree-picking way up the hill, however the best value is the drops. Trees drop their apples when they're done ripening.
Here, the drops land in soft grass, and are protected from very low air temperatures by retained heat from the ground. So for applesauce, making your own cider, and any other plan you may have for full-flavored apples in bulk, come on up. As ever, we hope you will bite into as many apples as you need to in order to make sure you're getting what you want!

Inside the stand we have "pack your own" McIntosh, Golden Russet, Esopus Spitzenburg, and Gala apples.
The Gala are half-price because, though they're very good, they have a lot of surface blemishes. Gala fans have been toting them out of here anyway.
Also find latest pressing of sweet cider Thurs thru Sunday. Sat-Sun only we will also offer our Farnum Hill adult ciders. 

HOURS THRU NOV 1:
Thursdays & Friday -- cash, check or Venmo only!
10AM-6PM
Saturday & Sunday  -- can accept credit/debit as well as cash, check or Venmo.
10AM-5PM


BACK-STORY

Hello, apple season 2026! This year, we're going minimal with Pick-Your-Own and retail. Basically, we're starting with plain pick-your-own.
Later we'll be adding boxes of loose apples for you to "pack-your-own" into bags. Watch this space, write us on the contact page  or CALL 603/448-1511!
On weekends, we can sell Farnum Hill adult ciders. Note that we're open four days a week and that we can NOT take plastic on Thursdays and Fridays...
So if you need to pay with credit or debit, come on the weekend, when we have staff in the stand. Thurs-Fri, the honesty box can take cash, check or Venmo.
This has worked really well all season -- we thank all of you who've purchased, picked, sat around, taken the walks, played with the toys, eaten your picnics, and enjoyed yourselves. So far, we've had no complaints in the comment book... phew! And what a beautiful fall it has been.

HOURS:
Saturdays & Sundays  -- can accept credit/debit as well as cash, check or Venmo.
10AM-5PM
Thursdays & Fridays -- cash, check or Venmo only!
10AM-6PM


While you're here, feel free to range around, sit around, play games, take our walks, have picnics at the tables, etc.
Kids' parties welcome!
Hide-and-seek works pretty well in big orchards and woods, all with tall fencing (so nobody gets really lost...)

We have one lawn game up, aiming to put up two more by the second September weekend. 
There's so much space here, hope you can use it as a kind of super-backyard.
Also, people are welcome to stay to watch the sunset after we close up. Please don't camp out, though.

This is a year of rethinking and refocusing for the Wood family.

We have a lot of land besides the orchards, and a lot of ideas about what's best for the land and for the next generation.
That's why retail 2026 will be quiet and minimal -- Thursdays and Fridays we'll run on an honesty box.
Hence we can't take plastic on those days, just check, cash or Venmo.
Saturdays and Sundays we'll have someone in the stand who can run cards and offer tastings of our Farnum Hill adult beverages.
