Pick your Own Update Sept 15 2012

September 15-16: PUMPKIN pick your own begins! APPLE picking continues with the remainder of the McIntosh, as well as Cortland, Macoun and Honeycrisp varieties. Pick your own hours are Wed thru Fri 10a-4p and Saturday/Sunday 9a-4p. Unlike some commercialized farms, we do NOT charge a separate entrance fee - however you MUST purchase a bag before entering the orchard to pick. You will not be allowed into the orchard unless you purchased a bag for that day’s picking. Please NOTE: There is a 10 lb minimum purchase for pick your own which allows a family of 4 into the orchard. A 20lb bag is also available. Larger groups may have to purchase an additional bag(s) to be allowed into the orchard. NO pets! Most farms are now following these philosophies. Honeycrisp apples are currently priced separately due to their market demand this year. If you desire fewer apples than our pick your own minimum, we sell our own fresh picked varieties in our farm stand at 325 South Street just down the street from the orchard entrance, as well as our own cider, vegetables, pumpkins, mums, and other fall plantings. More picking information, policies, recipes and more can be found on our apple picking website page at www.cnsmithfarminc.com. Thank you for your cooperation and support of local agriculture. ~CN Smith Farm Apple Team
