Everybody's favorite variety will be ready for picking on August 29th – September 1st AND September 5th - September 7th! Honeycrisp is unparalleled in delivering juice, crunch, and sweet flavor. Once rejected by big apple growers and retailers alike, Honeycrisp's popularity grew from its fans at you-pick orchards throughout the Midwest.Come out and pick at your own pace; you'll find a wider variety of apples than you'd see at the grocery store, and maybe even discover a new favorite. To make things easier for families and groups, we’ll be offering both half-peck and full-peck sizes. ☀️
🗣️ Stay tuned to this event for more updates including extra activities, expanded programming, and new produce varieties available!
