Love coming here to go apple picking. Are you guys going to have the hayride to take us to the sections where the apples are this year?
Hello Amarilys, Sorry, but no, not this season due to COVID. All our guests will have to walk to and from the orchard, that’s why we recommend wearing comfortable shows. Thank you.

We don’t have the friendly farm animals this season due to COVID. But you can walk around the farm after PYO, for photos, etc.
