Free parking is available on-site, with plenty of room for families and groups. The lot is gravel and designed to pull all the way through, easy in, easy out.

Frequently Asked Questions

01.

Can I eat the apples while I'm picking?

We ask that you pay for your apples before enjoying them. The orchard is our livelihood and our home, and we appreciate your support in keeping it going.

02.

Do I need to bring anything for apple picking?

Nope - we provide bags and boxes. Just bring your enthusiasm (and maybe a light jacket in October).

What if the weather is bad?

Fall in Apple Hill can bring some rain. We recommend checking our Instagram @pineomineranch before heading out for any weather-related updates on events or hours.

04.

Are there things to do beyond the orchard?

Absolutely. Between the barn, live music, petting zoo, tractor rides, food vendors, and open green space, there's plenty to enjoy even if you're not picking apples.

05.

Is this a good spot for large groups or families?

Yes, we have lots of seating, open space, and activities that work for all ages. We're a third-generation family farm, and families are exactly who we built this place for.

Yes, a U-Pick ticket is required to enter the orchard - no reservation required. Apples are priced separately based on weight.
