| Season & 2026 dates | Apple harvest runs roughly July through October. Directory listings say they are open weekends plus Tuesdays and Thursdays during apple season, and take private outings. Call ahead, because opening depends on when the fruit is ready. |

| Farm food | 🧺 Farm stand 🥬 Produce 🍯 Honey |
| How to buy | Home grown apples and honey. Varieties listed include Ginger Gold, Gala, HoneyCrisp, JonaGold, Pioneer Mac, Cortland, Golden Delicious, Staymen and Fuji. Pumpkins are sold in season. The trees are planted on a high density system with dwarf rootstock, so the fruit hangs low enough for children to pick. |
| Tillage & soil | This farm has not published how it works its soil, so we are not going to guess. If you farm here, tell us and we will add it. See the farms that do say. |
| Good to know | Their listing says the dwarf apple trees allow for picking without ladders so even the smallest children can enjoy a day at the orchard. There is an apple slingshot and they welcome group visits. Call the farm for current hours. |
| Address | 600 North Branch Road, McDonald, PA 15057 |
