Orchard Updates

Closing Regular Hours for 2023

Our 2023 apple sales at the Apple Barn in Rochester ended Friday, Nov 17. Due to a smaller harvest this year, our supply of apples ran out quite a bit earlier than usual.

Thanks to everyone for a memorable season and for navigating the nearby road construction to come and visit during the fall.

Stay tuned here on our website and/or Facebook page for off-season updates and plans for next year. Your support means the world to us -- see you in the next harvest!

Hours and Varieties

The Apple Barn is open every day from noon until 5 p.m.

This 2023 season produced a lighter crop than usual and our supply of harvested apples will be exhausted much earlier than a normal year. As of today, it looks like we have enough apples to remain open until the end of the week (through Friday, November 17) but will likely close regular hours at the Apple Barn around that time.

The following varieties may be available currently depending on supply:

• Apples
  • Black Willow Twig
  • Golden Russet
  • Ida Red
  • Melba
  • Red Delicious
  • Snow
  • Tolman Sweet
  • Winesap
• Pears
  • Bosc
