Is the Pumpkin Fiesta and Becker Mountain Open for Fall 2020?Our priority is to keep everyone safe. In order to do our part in the prevention in the spread of COVID-19 we decided to scale back our fall festivites. There will be no hayrides on weekends to the orchards or through the woods. Those apple picking will now walk the lanes to the orchard. Past activities that encouraged gathering without limited capacities have been cancelled. Activities that encourage outdoor fun remains, including the bounce pillow, play grounds,Farm Animal Exhibit, live music, chicken BBQ and more. In addition, tickets are now required on the weekends to control capacity and keep guests social distancing. Tickets must be purchased in advance to enter the grounds. Even if you are a season ticket holder.

How much does it cost to pick apples?UPICK Apple Prices $6.75 - 4qt $8.00 - 8 qt $20 - 1/2 Bushel bag $30 - Bushel Bag Weekdays No admission during weekdays. Apple Bags can be purchased in the Farm Market or Brew Pub. Weekends during Fall Admission is required on weekends during our Fall Festival. Apple bags will be provided at the entrance and are included in the ticketing cost. Everyone over the age of 2 is required to have an apple bag before going out to the orchard.
-
Why does every person need to pay to go to the orchard if not every person is going to pick?The environmental footprint of u-pick apples is costly to farmers. While most guests respect mother nature, there are always some that will be found wasting and throwing apples and climbing and damaging our trees. Additional costs associated with u-pick apples include, mowing the orchards, signage, and staffing. These costs do not include the actual year-round care of the trees to ensure a successful crop. Charging people the modest price of $6.75 per person ensures that we can continue to grow the apples you love year after year and still be a sustainable family business for generations to come. If you are not interested in having the u-pick experience in the orchard, already picked apples are available in the farm market and apple barn.
-
Do kids have to pay to get into the orchard?Yes. Apple bags are $6.75. 23 months and under are free
-
Can you pick apples during the week?Yes! U-pick is available daily from 12p-5p in our Brewpub Monday and Tuesday and 11a-5p Wednesday-Friday until all of the apples are off of the trees. When you arrive, head to the brewpub or farm market to purchase your apple bags and directions to the orchards we are picking in for the day.
-
When do wagons to the orchard run?There will be no wagon rides to the orchards. Guests are asked to walk. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and encourage the use of wagons, jogging stroller, and walking sticks to make it easier to transport your apples when you are done. A 4qt bag weighs about 5 pounds.
-
Where are the wagons to the orchard located?They are located at the Apple Barn from 10 am to 4 pm and the Farm Market from 4pm to 5pm.
-
We can walk to the orchard during the week, why can’t we walk on the weekend?"To ensure the safety of our guests, walking to the apple orchard during the weekend is prohibited. This is because many of our lanes will have wagons driving back and forth from the orchard throughout the day making the walk more dangerous.
-
Was this like this last year?!No, Because of COVID-19 we are taking all precaustionary measures to keep people social distancing and safe, while still giving our community the opportunity to enjoy the farm and countryside.
-
What do I do with all these apples?!Apples can last in the refrigerator from 3 weeks to up to 6 months depending on the variety. Apple sauce made in the crockpot is also a very good and easy way to process your apples and freezes very well. You can also make apple pies and apple butter. You can also give them away to a food pantry or even just your neighbors. The real question is, “What CAN’T I do with all these apples?!”
