Before you go

  • Check that it is open. Search for the farm's current hours: hours and crops change with the weather.
  • Bring cash and a card. Some farms take only one.
  • Water, sun protection and closed-toe shoes.
  • A bag or box for the ride home, if the farm allows your own
  • Comfortable shoes for orchard rows
  • Hand wipes
  • Ask about pets before you bring a dog.

How to pick like a pro

  • Is it ripe?

    Ripe apples come off with a gentle lift and twist. If you have to yank, it is not ready. Background color shifts from green to yellow or cream.

  • How to pick

    Lift the apple up and twist; do not pull straight down or shake the branch. Leave the stem on. Set apples in the bag, do not drop them, because bruises spread.

  • Best time to go

    Weekday mornings. Weekend afternoons in late September and October are the busiest.

  • Keep it fresh

    Refrigerate; most varieties keep for weeks. Keep away from bananas and greens, because apples release ethylene.
