During weekdays, admission is free to access the pumpkin patch and apple orchards. On weekends and holidays, from September 26th to October 31st, you will need a Picking Pass.

September 30th and October 12th are the two holidays on which a parking pass is required for those purchasing an activity pass.

DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?

Refunds for products are seldom given unless you have a receipt and a valid reason for the return.
